Work and thou canst escape the reward; whether the work be fine or course, planting corn or writing epics, so only it be honest work, done to thine own approbation, it shall earn a reward to the senses as well as to the thought. (Edward VIII )
Work is victory. (Edward VIII )
My work is a game -- a very serious game. (Edward VIII )
No true work since the world began was ever wasted; no true life since the world began has ever failed. Oh, understand those two perverted word, failure and success and measure them by the eternal, not the earthly, standard. When after thirty obscure, toilsome, unrecorded years in the shop of the village carpenter, one came forth to be pre-eminently the man of sorrows, to wander from city to city in homeless labors, and to expire in lonely agony upon the shameful cross -- was that a failure. (Edward VIII )

Like the bee, we should make our industry our amusement. (Edward VIII )
When work is a pleasure, life is joy.! When work is a duty, life is slavery. (Edward VIII )
Labor disgraces no man, but occasionally men disgrace labor. (Edward VIII )
I have long been of the opinion that if work were such a splendid thing the rich would have kept more of it for themselves. (Edward VIII )
Intimate or drastic elements in the work of others are untouchable and should not be commented upon even in their absence. Private conflicts, quarrels, sentiments, animosities are unavoidable in any human group. It is our duty towards creation to keep these in check in so far as they might deform and wreck the work process. (Edward VIII )
My work is magnified by the fact that the streets of heaven are too crowded with angels -- we know their names, they number a thousand for each red ribbon we wear here tonight. [Accepting his Best Actor Oscar for Philadelphia] (Edward VIII )
As for me, prizes are nothing. My prize is my work. (Edward VIII )
Work is the greatest thing in the world, so we should always save some of it for tomorrow. (Edward VIII )
