Greatest MotivationalQuotes For WorkVol 1

Most quote books are general. This one has a single subject: work. More than 950 lines about discipline, goals, obstacles and the difficulty of starting, taken from people who did large amounts of it — Pablo Picasso, Abraham Lincoln, Alexander Graham Bell, Lao Tzu, Kurt Vonnegut, Albert Einstein, Henry Ford and Steve Jobs among them.

The quotes are short and the book has no thread to hold. Read one before the day begins and leave it there. Read twenty on a slow afternoon. “Discipline is choosing between what you want now and what you want most” does the job in a sentence; so does “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.”

It suits a person who keeps something on the desk to look at — and who would rather it said something specific about the work in front of them than something general about life. This is volume one.
