Quote by Henry Ward Beecher

Work is not a curse, but drudgery is!

Work is not a curse, but drudgery is!

Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between work and drudgery. It suggests that work itself is not inherently negative or burdensome, but rather it's the monotonous and tedious nature of drudgery that makes it feel like a curse. While work can be fulfilling and purposeful, drudgery refers to repetitive or uninteresting tasks that lack meaning or satisfaction. By acknowledging the difference, the quote encourages us to seek meaningful and engaging work that adds value to our lives, rather than resigning ourselves to mindless toil.

All my friends were in college when I was making 'Superbad.' We were drinking beer and watching movies and eating pizza. It wasn't like I was going to nice restaurants or anything like that, and I lived like a frat guy. Eventually it was time to grow up, be healthy and be responsible. You can't live like a kid forever, you know?

That which is true must always remain true, though the applications may change greatly from generation to generation. It is the absence of such fundamental certainties, no doubt, that leads men into continual search for a satisfying religion, or that drives them away from their old religion.
