The pencil of the Holy Ghost hath labored more in describing the afflictions of Job than the felicities of Solomon.

It’s the job that’s never started as takes longest to finish.

Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people are good at annihilating people. Maybe that’s their gift.

When his life was ruined, his family killed, his farm destroyed, Job knelt down on the ground and yelled up to the heavens, ‚Why god? Why me?‘ and the thundering voice of God answered, ‚There’s just something about you that pisses me off.‘

I always knew who I was, and I always ran from my true purpose… I know what my job is. And I always ran from it.

You have young men of color in many communities who are more likely to end up in jail or in the criminal justice system than they are in a good job or in college. And, you know, part of my job, that I can do, I think, without any potential conflicts, is to get at those root causes.

A #2 pencil and a dream can take you anywhere.

When I was in college my girl got me a job at the doctor’s office she was working at. I was a file clerk. No disrespect but I don’t think a man can do that job. It takes so much meticulous and precise file-keeping.

People still think of me as a cartoonist, but the only thing I lift a pen or pencil for these days is to sign a contract, a check, or an autograph.

Farming looks mighty easy when your plow is a pencil and you’re a thousand miles from the corn field.

This is not a showman’s job. I will not step out of character.

It is my job to help the players react better.

It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

I’ve always written by hand. Mostly with a fountain pen, but sometimes with a pencil – especially for corrections.

Early on, when I was quite young and going from job to job, I was foolish enough to sometimes speak to my fellow workers: ‚Hey, the boss can come in here at any moment and lay all of us off, just like that, don’t you realize that?‘ They would just look at me. I was posing something that they didn’t want to enter their minds.

‚Harry Potter‘ gave me back self respect. Harry gave me a job to do that I loved more than anything else.

It is really very important while you are young to live in an environment in which there is no fear. Most of us, as we grow older, become frightened; we are afraid of living, afraid of losing a job, afraid of tradition, afraid of what the neighbours, or what the wife or husband would say, afraid of death.

The thought of being President frightens me and I do not think I want the job.

You must pursue this investigation of Watergate even if it leads to the president. I’m innocent. You’ve got to believe I’m innocent. If you don’t, take my job.

At the end of the day, the TV show is the best job in the world. I get to go anywhere I want, eat and drink whatever I want. As long as I just babble at the camera, other people will pay for it. It’s a gift.

I am the center of attention in my job every single day; the thought of a wedding to me is exhausting. Why would I put myself through that?

Yes, we’ve still got more work to do. More work to do for every American still in need of a good job or a raise, paid leave or a decent retirement; for every child who needs a sturdier ladder out of poverty or a world-class education; for everyone who has not yet felt the progress of these past seven and a half years.

The most interesting thing about a postage stamp is the persistence with which it sticks to its job.

I will do this job as long as I feel that I can do it full steam.

Some people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions, they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.

Every natural object is a conductor of divinity and only by coming into contact with them… may we be filled with the Holy Ghost.

I’m a workin‘ girl.

Most of us enter adult life with great ambitions for how we will start our own ventures, but the harshness of life wears us down. We settle into some job and slowly give in to the illusion that our bosses care about us and our future, that they spend time thinking of our welfare.

They call upon us to supply American boys to do the job that Asian boys should do.

I’m not really concerned with portraying this tough warrior – I mean, that’s part of my job and I take that very seriously. But I don’t have anything to hide, and I’m not concerned with what people think.

My father used to have an expression. He’d say, ‚Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It’s about your dignity. It’s about respect. It’s about your place in your community.‘

Any man who has had the job I’ve had and didn’t have a sense of humor wouldn’t still be here.

If my mother knew I did this for a living, she’d kill me. She thinks I’m selling dope.

The more you stay in this kind of job, the more you realize that a public figure, a major public figure, is a lonely man.

My family kinda hit the skids. We were experiencing poverty at that point. We all got a job, where the whole family had to work as security guards and janitors. And I just got angry.

Because my career is so important, I think I make a lot of – I wouldn’t call them sacrifices, but just concessions for my job. I love what I do, and I want to do it for a long time.

The idea of going to school and getting a job is the most destructive one in your brain.

I got a job when I was 15 because my allowance was about $20 a week which in New York was impossible. So I used to waitress across the street from where I grew up.

I was always interested – I mean, it’s kind of part of your job – I was always interested in the camera.

In this knowledge-worker age, it’s now increasingly tied to doing well in school so you can get into better grad schools so you can get better jobs – so the pressure to do well is really high.

But being on location and shooting, whether its in Puerto Rico or Atlanta, it always reminds me of how really cool my job can be. Interacting with the fans is one of the best parts of it.
