law lawsuit literary looking meditating rest work year
I can't do literary work for the rest of this year because I'm meditating another lawsuit and looking around for a defendant
action lightning thunder work
Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does all the work
hard-work successful blow
Knighterrantry is a most chuckleheaded trade, and it is tedious hard work, too, but I begin to see that there is money in it, after all, if you have luck. Not that I would ever engage in it, as a business, for I wouldn't. No sound and legitimate business can be established on a basis of speculation. A successful whirl in the knighterrantry line--now what is it when you blow away the nonsense and come down to the cold facts? It's just a corner in pork, that's all.
work mean loss
In America, we hurry-which is well; but when the day's work is done, we go on thinking of losses and gains, we plan for the morrow, we even carry our business cares to bed with us...we burn up our energies with these excitements, and either die early or drop into a lean and mean old age at a time of life which they call a man's prime in Europe...What a robust people, what a nation of thinkers we might be, if we would only lay ourselves on the shelf occasionally and renew our edges!

Two days overdue, THE WORLD'S WORK has not reached me. Pray make a note of this. I would rather not have to resort to violence.

I do not like work even when someone else is doing it.

hard-work writing apprenticeship
Whatever you have lived, you can write & by hard work & a genuine apprenticeship, you can learn to write well; but what you have not lived you cannot write, you can only pretend to write it...
work law cash
The law of work does seem utterly unfair-but there it is, and nothing can change it: the higher the pay in enjoyment the worker gets out of it, the higher shall be his pay in cash, too.
hard-work organization done
You may say organize, organize, organize; but there may be so much organization that it will interfere with the work to be done.
inspirational success work
Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.
