180

As far as service goes, it can take the form of a million things. To do service, you don’t have to be a doctor working in the slums for free, or become a social worker. Your position in life and what you do doesn’t matter as much as how you do what you do.
190
My father was a psychiatrist and a social worker but he was a very talented painter and musician and writer on the side.
Tunde Adebimpe
191
I always call myself a space construction worker.
192
I’m an actor. And I guess I’ve done so many movies I’ve achieved some high visibility. But a star? I guess I still think of myself as kind of a worker ant.
193
My entire career, I’ve been a worker.
194
I was an aid worker for a decade and then worked in the voluntary sector in the U.K. on U.K. child poverty and with the NSPCC and Save the Children. But I had worked for ten years with Oxfam.
195
When you print money, the money does not flow evenly into the economic system. It stays essentially in the financial service industry and among people that have access to these funds, mostly well-to-do people. It does not go to the worker.
196
The cardinals have elected me, a simple, humble worker in the Lord’s vineyard.
197
I’m the hardest worker you’ll ever meet.
198
I feel Teddy Bridgewater is an accurate passer. He’s a leader who wants to make everyone else around him better. Someone who’s a hard worker, someone who smart with the football and takes care of the football. Someone who competes at a high level on a consistent basis.
199
I’m definitely the worker. My brother is the jokester.
200
I’ve never considered being a cop. I could be a teacher, I could be a minister, a social worker or a professor. As long I don’t have to see blood and see people die every day, if I could inspire or help in their lives, that’s something I’d want to do.
Ruben Santiago-Hudson
201
I will support legislation that benefits the American worker and prevents the outsourcing of American jobs.
Ed Pastor
202
The average American worker has fifty interruptions a day, of which seventy percent have nothing to do with work.
203
There were stereotypes: you are from the communist country so you are not a hard worker. You talk awkwardly and speak with an accent and you don’t have any high education like us so you are basically stupid. And I am shorter than South Koreans – I was malnourished when I was young. It made me believe I was a loser.
204
My father was a military judge, and my mother was a psychiatric social worker. My brother and sister and I were moved around constantly, in and outside the U.S., living in Germany for much of our teens.
205
I had a little insight into life that most kids probably didn’t have. My mother was a schoolteacher, and my father was a social worker. Through his eyes I saw the underside of society.
206
It’s an American worker’s right to unionize for sure, but that being said, don’t expect me not to point out when or if union leadership takes advantage of union members.
207
In terms of productivity – that is, how much a worker produces in an hour – there’s little difference between the U.S., France, and Germany. But since more people work in America, and since they work so many more hours, Americans create more wealth.
208
Acting is not a normal job, no, but I don’t think that takes me out of the game as far as having had the experience of being a hard worker.
209
In Japan, a company worker’s position is secure. He is retrained for another job if his present job is eliminated by productivity improvement.
210
Especially for the young and the lowest-skilled, minimum wage becomes a toll that prevents many from entering the work force and gaining the skills that can make a low income or middle class worker a high income worker. This is so obvious that one wonders why liberals keep championing the minimum wage cause.
211
My father was a construction worker most of his life. My mother, when she came from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, to the United States, never had a chance to go to college either and became a clerical worker. But they did nothing but build this country.
212
To make flexibility work, it is not only necessary to change our attitude about who is a good worker and who is not, but we have to train managers at all levels to recognize the difference between the number of hours worked and the quality of work produced.
213
I knew I’m a hard worker and always wanted to be great at this game.
214
My grandmother worked as a front-line service worker in the hospitals of Toronto Centre and broke her back doing it in the process.
215
You have nothing that the humblest worker has not a right to have also.
Rose Schneiderman
216
Since God is the one who calls people to their work, the worker becomes a steward who serves God.
217
The National Action Party, in many ways, emulated the PRI in the way in which it conducted itself in government, supporting corporatist leaders, supporting corrupt oil worker union leaders.
218
I was a social worker most of my life while raising my two boys.
219
Adults get more confused by social worker jargon. Unlike children, they are also less likely to see two sides of an argument, and they no longer think they can make the world a better place. That can make them rather boring, I suppose.
220
My mother was harsh and constantly told me I had jug ears and heaven knows what else. But she was devoted and a hard worker.
221
I was always a hard worker, but when I was younger I didn’t have to put the extra work in like some of the other guys.
222
If you go two years without playing with confidence, when your whole life, you’ve been extremely confident and a hard worker… I got punched in the mouth, and it took me a while to adjust. I kind of had my confidence – I don’t want to say taken away, because no one should ever be able to take your confidence away.
223
There are 80 jobs in which women earn more than men – positions like financial analyst, speech-language pathologist, radiation therapist, library worker, biological technician, motion picture projectionist.
224
My mom’s a social worker, and my dad works in non-profit organisations.
225
I’m one of those guys who’s a hard worker.
226
I was a social worker for Baltimore families. Now I’m a social worker building opportunities for families throughout America.
227
I’m a worker bee, I like to have a schedule, I like to have a place to be, and a time, and a schedule – it just makes sense to me.
228
My father was brought up in an orphanage in the Catskills. He was a factory worker. And because his family wasn’t there for him, family was everything. We could disagree inside the house, but outside the house it was us against the world. So when I became a drag actor, he looked sideways but said okay.
229
I am a hard worker, and there’s nothing wrong with my motor.
230
Higher productivity enables companies to increase sales without adding workers. Even if job markets tighten and wages rise, corporate profits can continue to climb as long as worker productivity is growing faster than overall wages.
231
No, I’m not the first or last model of my type in this industry. You can make up all the reasons you think I am where I am, but really, I’m a hard worker that’s confident in myself – one that came at a time where the fashion industry was ready for a change.
232
We are still behaving as if a worker really doesn’t have a family because the work pattern really was meant for men who really were the financial support but weren’t looking after their families. We need to change this, and we can easily do that.
233
I want to make a film about a factory worker.
234
I never thought I was the most beautiful model out there or the most sexy woman, but I was a hard worker.
235
I’ve always been a pretty hard worker. That’s how I’ve written over a hundred books.
Colin Wilson
236
The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes of each honest worker.
237
People don’t say, ‘I just had a kid and I hope it turns out to be a factory worker.’
238
I think we need a vibrant guest worker program. If we have one, we’re going to stop having a lot of issues at the border.
239
I really believe in myself. I’m the hardest worker I know, and one of the best songwriters. There’s a craft to it, and it takes a long time to hone it, and I work really hard at it.
Arthur Godfrey
240
My success, I think it is due to the Mizanan family. Everyone in my family is a hard worker.
241
I feel like I’ve always been a hard worker – working too much on things that I don’t need to work on. Nothing’s ever going to be perfect, but I still feel like there’s this attainable perfection, which doesn’t exist.
242
I believe there’s been a slippery slope of new companies that have formed in the name of on-demand services… that maybe aren’t having as much of a focus as they should on the worker.
243
I’m a pretty hard worker.
244
Since taking office, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party have transformed the Temporary Foreign Worker Program – which was originally designed to bring in temporary workers on a limited basis when no Canadian could be found – into one that has brought in a large pool of vulnerable workers.
245
As great as Hulk Hogan was, he still wasn’t that great a worker.
246
Everyone I’ve worked with on any film will say I’m the hardest worker.
247
Using the Internet to secure employment is as vital to a construction worker as it is to a software engineer.
248
Enforcement is the long overdue step to protect our Nation from external threats in a time of war. And then once we do that, we can effectively discuss a guest worker program.
249
After qualifying for a B.Sc. in pharmacology, I spent a few months in Sheffield University as a research worker in the pharmacology department but then went back to Oxford to the Nuffield Institute for Medical Research in order to study for a D. Phil. with Dr. Geoffrey Dawes.
John Vane
250
The hard work and grit of the American worker makes us who we are as a people.
251
General Petraeus is not a miracle worker. He can not be successful unless the president creates greater confidence within his own team about the decisions which the president has himself made.
252
At the current $5.15 an hour, the federal minimum wage has become a poverty wage. A full-time worker with one child lives below the official poverty line.
253
My dad’s a worker, an electrician, a bog standard job. Nothing glamorous like a footballer, but yet he still provided me with what I needed.
254
It’s ironic that while I was a worker in Detroit, which I left when I was twenty six, my sense was that the thing that’s going to stop me from being a poet is the fact that I’m doing this crummy work.
Philip Levine
255
The average American worker gets something like 14 days of paid vacation. In my school, you’d use up ten of those taking care of your kids on teacher professional days, then tack on a couple more for kids getting sick.
256
Being a good worker in WWE is the worst curse that you can have. Instead of being given the title for being a great worker, they give it to someone who isn’t and have that person work with the good worker, so they look good in the ring.
257
Many talk about a guest worker program. I think most reasonable people believe that a guest worker program in the farming industry, perhaps in the gardening and landscape industries, is reasonable.
258
I’m very happy in my 18th century worker’s cottage in Kent and playing my music for the dog-walkers paused outside.
Christian McKay
259
A reputation as a hard worker is a good reputation to have.
260
I worked offshore as an oil worker for a couple of years.
261
Please remember that my great grandmother was a slave. My grandmother was a sharecropper. My mother was a factory worker.
262
I was born May 31, 1911, in Paris. My parents owned a small cheese shop, and my maternal grandfather was a carpentry worker. I thus came from what is commonly known as the working class.
Maurice Allais
263
My dad was an assembly line worker at AC Spark Plug, which was a division of General Motors, and his job was to build and then inspect the little spark plugs as they came off the line.
264
A laborer no longer makes whole articles. He receives raw materials, puts his touch on them, and passes them to another worker in the series. When the articles are quite finished they are carried out of sight by currents of commercial exchange. These currents are untraceable.
John Bates Clark
265
Ask any worker at Starbucks, Cosi, McDonald’s or Walmart, ‘How many jobs do you have?’ and likely he or she will tell you: ‘Two.’ I know colleagues who’ve had breakfast at one store, and gone to lunch in another, only to find the same person waiting on them.
266
I’m an incredibly hard worker, I’m incredibly tenacious, and I’m incredibly detail-oriented.
267
I am quite surprised, that with all my work, and some of it is very, very good, that nobody talks about The Miracle Worker. We’re talking about Mrs. Robinson. I understand the world… I’m just a little dismayed that people aren’t beyond it yet.
Anne Bancroft
268
There is nothing a worker resents more than to see some man taking his job. A factory can be closed down, its chimneys smokeless, waiting for the worker to come back to his job, and all will be peaceful. But the moment workers are imported, and the striker sees his own place usurped, there is bound to be trouble.
269
We have rules about the environment and rules about worker safety and rules about consumer protection.
270
Does the entry of Indian H-1B worker augur a change in the relations of production in the world of cybertechnology? No, but the presence of such workers – their skills and their historiesintroduce contradictions into the system that are not always easily absorbed or dissolved.
271
I’m a hard worker on and off the field.
272
Married or unmarried, young or old, poet or worker, you are still a dreamer, and will one time know, and feel, that your life is but a dream.
Donald G. Mitchell
273
My father was a manual worker.
Diane Abbott
274
A market where chief executive officers make 262 times that of the average worker and 821 times that of the minimum-wage worker is not a market that is working well. And it is surely not working well enough to build a solid middle class.
275
I’m always asked, ‘What’s the secret to success?’ But there are no secrets. Be humble. Be hungry. And always be the hardest worker in the room.
276
I thought I would be laying hardwood floors in Colorado – a construction worker. Middle class or working class, that’s where I was! I just fought because I loved it. It was so fun! Being able to go in there and outthink your opponents.
277
I’m a late developer in everything. I have a fast mind and fast metabolism, and I’m an intense worker, but in terms of life development, I’m way behind.
278
I don’t think of myself as a movie star. I’m a movie worker. I come from a railroad family. I come from the corn.
Bill Moseley
279
Anyone that coaches their son, you expect more out of your boy. I’m not talking about stats, but I expected him to be the hardest worker out there.
Paul Coffey
280
I see three forces militating in favor of growing inequality: increasing measurement of worker value added, automation through smart software, and globalization.
281
I’m just going to be a sponge. I’m going to be a good teammate. I’m going to be a hard worker, earn my respect first.
282
I love everything about Asuka, and everyone loves Asuka. She’s an amazing performer, worker, mother, and friend. Genuinely, she is the best. I can see myself growing and learning so much with her. She’s done it all, and she’s the toughest woman I know.
283
The Savior will help you do what He has called you to do, be it for a time as a worker in the Church or forever as a parent. You may pray for help enough to do the work and know that it will come.
284
Whether you’re working in corporate America or you’re a journalist, construction worker, a teacher or an actor – we’re all trying to keep working. If one job is ending, you look for another job. When ‘Psych’ ends, I will be looking for another job.
285
If the system should not need parts now, the worker should not produce because you are just absorbing instead of producing.
Eliyahu Goldratt
286
I was a hard worker, and I always knew my lines.
287
I’ve been in the public eye now for about 15 or 16 years, and I’m very aware that fame is not a given. I have to maintain it. It’s not just something that will always be there. But I’ve always been a worker. I’ve never expected be given anything.
288
The problem of chemotherapy of bacterial infections could be solved neither by the experimental medical research worker nor by the chemist alone, but only by the two together working in very close cooperation over many years.
Gerhard Domagk
289
And I come here as a daughter, raised on the South Side of Chicago – by a father who was a blue-collar city worker and a mother who stayed at home with my brother and me.
290
My grandfather was a really, really tough no-nonsense factory worker who emigrated from Ireland in about 1900 to Bridgeport, Conn. He had a big effect on me. Those guys who took a great leap out into what they knew not were the ones who were the real stars, the real heroes.
291
My mom worked as a psychiatric social worker. She was interested in people, and I guess I am, too. So we would talk about the people that we knew, and why they behaved the way they did.
292
Modiji is a BJP worker, and crores of karyakartas are proud of the fact that an ordinary worker has become a beloved personality in India and abroad.
293
I am the son of a mine worker.
Salt Bae
294
As a low-income worker, my take-home pay, at best, was about $200 a week.
295
Growing up, I’ve had plenty of obstacles, but to be honest, I didn’t always have doubters. I was a standout athlete, so when that happens, you don’t have too many people telling you ‘You can’t do this,’ and ‘You can’t do that.’ I’ve always been a bit of a people person and a hard worker.
