"The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men." ― George Eliot Topic(s): Work Tags: important, moving More From George Eliot "We must not sit still and look for miracles; up and doing, and the Lord will be with thee. Prayer and pains, through faith in Christ Jesus, will do anything." "Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest." "The sons of Judah have to choose that God may again choose them. The divine principle of our race is action, choice, resolved memory." More In Work "When I come up against a director who has a concept that I don’t agree with, or maybe I just haven’t thought of it or whatever, I’d be more prone to go with them than my own because I want to be out of control as an actor, I want them to have the control, otherwise it’s going to become predictably my work, and that’s not fun."― Jack Nicholson "I’m one of these very focused people when it comes to day-to-day work, and I’m trying not to think about what comes next so that I can stay very focused on what I’m doing now."― Hillary Clinton "I suppose I have a really loose interpretation of “work,” because I think that just being alive is so much work at something you don’t always want to do. The machinery is always going. Even when you sleep."― Andy Warhol
