I do not care about happiness simply because I believe that joy is something worth fighting for.

Every job from the heart is, ultimately, of equal value. The nurse injects the syringe; the writer slides the pen; the farmer plows the dirt; the comedian draws the laughter. Monetary income is the perfect deceiver of a man's true worth.

You don't get something for nothingYou can't have freedom for freeYou won't get wiseWith the sleep still in your eyesNo matter what your dreams might be

Happiness is the real sense of fulfillment that comes from hard work.

Be strong!We are not here to play, to dream, to drift;We have hard work to do and loads to lift;Shun not the struggle -- face it; 'tis God's gift.

A good work ethic is not so much a concern for hard work but rather one for responsibility. There have been a great many men and women who have in fact used work or hustle or selfish ambition as an escape from real responsibility, an escape from purpose. In matters such as these, the hard worker is just as dysfunctional as the sloth.
