Desks Quotes

Then there's the joy of getting your desk clean, and knowing that all your letters are answered, and you can see the wood on it again Picture Quote #1

I hate desks; they make me feel like a child doing homework Picture Quote #1

In life, we do not give employees enough leeway. If you look around Semco’s office, there are plenty of empty desks. The question is - where are these people? I do not have the slightest idea, but I am not interested Picture Quote #1

Who first invented work, and bound the free and holiday-rejoicing spirit down......... To that dry drudgery at the desk's dead wood?......... Sabbathless Satan! Picture Quote #1

More combat planes, missiles and soldiers won’t provide additional bread for our families, desks for our schools, or medicine for our clinics Picture Quote #1

Cultural wisdom says ‘Don’t quit your day job.’ Yet I think these desires represent our psyche’s stretch toward wholeness. And to be whole, as many religious tranditions teach, is to make manifest a unique face of God in the world. We don’t want to be irresponsible, yet for every accountant who deserts his family and sails for Tahiti, ten American men have heart attacks at their desks, after hours Picture Quote #1

On ships they call them barnacles; in business they attach themselves to desks and are called vice presidents Picture Quote #1

Let’s grab lunch with the understanding we’ll eat separately at our desks Picture Quote #1

We were fortunate to have the Russians as our childhood enemies. We practiced hiding under our desks in case they had the temerity to drop a nuclear weapon Picture Quote #1

In the area we’re discussing, leadership begins on Madison Avenue, on the desks and in the offices of people who spend hundreds of millions of dollars buying what will get them ratings Picture Quote #1

These are the men who, without virtue, labour, or hazard, are growing rich, as their country is impoverished; they rejoice, when obstinacy or ambition adds another year to slaughter and devastation; and laugh, from their desks, at bravery and science, while they are adding figure to figure, and cipher to cipher, hoping for a new contract from a new armament, and computing the profits of a siege or tempest Picture Quote #1

The boys with their feet on the desks know that the easiest murder case in the world to break is the one somebody tried to get very cute with; the one that really bothers them is the murder somebody only thought of two minutes before he pulled it off Picture Quote #1

It is not always the job of people shouting outside impressive buildings to solve problems. It is often the job of the people inside, who have paper, pens, desks, and an impressive view Picture Quote #1

I have three desks. One empty for paperwork, one for the internet and email, and one for the writing computer Picture Quote #1

Conservatives are winning offices, and champions of big government are cleaning out their desks right now Picture Quote #1

Some of the greatest and most lasting effects of genuine oratory have gone forth from secluded lecture desks into the hearts of quiet groups of students Picture Quote #1

Ideas come when we do not expect them, and not when we are brooding and searching at our desks. Yet ideas would certainly not come to mind had we not brooded at our desks and searched for answers with passionate devotion Picture Quote #1

Desks are terrible places, no matter how many wheels a chair might have. You can’t do much about how drawers fill up Picture Quote #1

If there is no solace in the fruits of our research, there is at least some consolation in the research itself. Men and women are not content to comfort themselves with tales of gods and giants, or to confine their thoughts to the daily affairs of life; they also build telescopes and satellites and accelerators and sit at their desks for endless hours working out the meaning of the data they gather Picture Quote #1

The weight of the old world is stifling, and trying to shovel its weight off your life is tiring just to think about. The constant shuttling of opinions is tiring, and the shuffling of papers across desks, the chopping of logic and the trimming of attitudes. There must, somewhere, be a simpler, more violent world Picture Quote #1

I often conduct an orchestra in my sleep; my orchestras are so huge that the back desks of the violas vanish into the horizon. And everything is so wonderful Picture Quote #1

Looking back, I think we were all quite mature, surprisingly responsible. In earlier wars, boys of our age had just gone off to raise hell or enlist or both, but we stayed dutifully at our desks doing tomorrow's homework Picture Quote #1
