The very essence of a free government consists in considering offices as public trusts bestowed for the good of the country and not for the benefit of an individual or a party.
John Caldwell Calhoun
If a due participation of office is a matter of right how are vacancies to be obtained? Those by death are few: by resignation none.
Thomas Jefferson
This struggle and scramble for office for a way to live without work will finally test the strength of our institutions.
Abraham Lincoln

I had heard of offices feeling like prisons, but in this case our prison felt, rather anticlimactically, like an office.
William Ritter
Discipline at the office had long been enforced by use of three methods: the meeting of the first kind, the meeting of the second kind, and the meeting of the third kind.
Pawan Mishra
If you don't feel drowsy after lunch and don't yawn in the office, you're not a perfect employee!
Himmilicious
If you chose Option 2 [confrontation], you did well. People will be less likely to engage you in office small talk of any kind, but that's likely a benefit when you consider the fact that every ten minutes of office small talk takes one year off of your life.
Baratunde R. Thurston
Every single aspect of what we do at work comes down to people and managing people, selling to people, working with people or making them do what you want them to do.
Abhishek Ratna
My mind was not that of a conqueror, but that of a cow that spends its life chewing contentedly in the meadow of invoices, waiting for the train of eternal grace to pass by. How good it felt to exist without pride of ambition. To live in hibernation.
Amélie Nothomb
The theatre is a place where one has time for the problems of people to whom one would show the door if they came to one's office for a job.
Tennessee Williams
Ask one question: Would a Millennial (anyone born between 1980 and 2000) look forward to working here?Try this exercise. Take a group of people into a large, open room with tackable wall surfaces or whiteboards. Give them large sheets of paper, sticky notes, markers, and tape. Ask them to create a concept for a work environment (don't say “office”) using the following words: high-energy, collaborative, healthy, productive, engaging, innovative, interactive, high-tech, and regenerating.
Rex Miller Sr.
In a democracy, someone who fails to get elected to office can always console himself with the thought that there was something not quite fair about it.
Thucydides
Although he too was heading to work, Shahid was glad he wasn't dragging himself off to some office job. Shahid's view: anybody who had to wear a suit to work died a little inside, every day.
John Lanchester
The office’ is a cemetery of dreams.
Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Self-employed people work where they live. Entrepreneurs live where they work.

The garden is an unemployed township-based man's cubicle.

You can tell if a person is organized by checking his desktop.
Ali AlJa'bari
As I write this entry, I touch a saber-tooth tiger skull in my office. Without stars there could be no skulls
Clifford A. Pickover
It did occur to him that perhaps he’d gone to the wrong Academy – the guys in the Space Fleet always had more interesting stories to tell at the spaceport bars. You know, tales about the dude who got vaporized in a plasma accident in the engineering section, or the fella who got turned into a blob of weird space jelly by some alien virus – or the time someone flew a starship into an astor-field at warp four by mistake (they were still trying to find the black box on that one). The Imperial Space Fleet’s recruiting office sure didn’t go around advertising ‘Join up, see the universe, meet interesting aliens and die screaming’, but it was known there were risks involved. It was part of the job after all, and yet somehow, they still got recruits signing up in droves. Yes, indeedy – the stories were far more interesting than his – took a load of ore to Gorda, took a load of mining equipment back to Tordrazil. Took a load of Florpavian Flame-birds to a zoo on Deanna, took a load of machinery to Salus. Picked up and dropped off a few passengers on the way. Still, Florpavian Flame-birds were a risky cargo… and damned tricky to transport – which is probably the only reason he’d had any entertainment at all on the last trip.
Christina Engela
Therefore let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers' (Rom 13.1). The Christian must not be drawn to the bearers of high office; his calling is to stay below. The higher power are over him, and he must remain under them. The world exercises dominion, the Christian serves, and thus he shares the earthly lot of his Lord, who became a servant. 'For there is no power but of God.' (Mark 10.42-45) These words are addressed to the Christians, not to the powers.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Appraisal – the best resources will get the worst result
Vivek Thangaswamy
Never lose time in sending the scapegoat to the slaughterhouse.
Ali Sheikh
It doesn't matter what your boss thinks as long as he doesn't cry.
Gerry Geek
During rough time in a Business, a Leader should act like a ship captain. His first and foremost priority should be to put his employees to security before thinking of his own welfare.
Indy Bissessur
LED lighting has its place: cold, detached, hollow places like office buildings, factories, fast food chains and public schools - places full of humans but no human emotions. LED lighting really belongs in the apathy of the digital age, where science and technology rules over friendship, love and freedom. Incandescent light bulbs have a warm yellow-orange glow like the glow of a nice fireplace, where friends and family might sit and talk together or where children might open Christmas presents, a glow that can project celluloid films and bring back old memories, a glow that can light the text of a paperback novel. Something that beautiful, with that much power, could never last very long in a time as depressing and uncertain as the 21st century.
Rebecca McNutt
Avoid living in new homes and working in new offices due to the high levels of chemical out-gassing that they exhibit during their first year.
Steven Magee
His lips reached mine and enveloped them, soft as velvet and yet unyielding.
Robert Thier
His silent, stony face was only inches away now. He was so near, so terribly near – and then he moved to close the last bit of distance.
Robert Thier
Shh! It happens. Sh!it happens.
Vikrmn
The thirty-plus years of marriage between the ceiling and the cement plaster showed signs of weakness by frequently developing cracks and holes.
Pawan Mishra
the first place smelled like work, so I took the second
Charles Bukowski
I would never sabotage you, Mya.” He wiped away one of my stray tears with his fingertips. “Of course, deep down I did want you to stay, but I had nothing but nice things to say about you. I even said they’d be foolish not to hire you, but—” “But?” I glared at him. “But what?” “But if they thought the low-ass salaries they were offering were good enough for you, they needed to increase them exponentially or move along to someone else. I thought you deserved more.” “Is that all?” “No,” he said, looking into my eyes. “I also needed to personally interview each of the CEOs myself. Needed to make sure each one was a good fit for you, and that whoever you worked for next was already married.” I opened my mouth to ask him if he was being serious, but he beat me to it. “Yes,” he said, smirking. “Yes, I ‘seriously’ did need to do that.” “What does the CEO being married have to do with anything, Michael? What if I have no interest in seeing you after I quit?” “You do, so we’re not even going to entertain that line of conversation.” He rolled his eyes. “If the CEO is already married, I won’t have to worry about ‘this’ happening at your next place of employment, and I can be somewhat less jealous.” “How selfish of you.” I couldn’t believe him, but for some reason I couldn’t help the smile that was forming on my face.
Whitney G.
He preferred the term "study" to "office," as an office meant work. No way around it. In a study, you could, well, study, or nap or read, or stare into space thinking long thoughts. You could certainly work, but it wasn't a requirement.
Nora Roberts
Why would you turn right on a red light when we can all just sit here behind you waiting to die... #AHOLE
A.O. Storm
In a patriarchal society, one of the most important functions of the institution of the family is to make feel like a somebody whenever he is in his own yard a man who is a nobody whenever he is in his employer’s yard.
Mokokoma Mokhonoana
As we look over the list of the early leaders of the republic, Washington, John Adams, Hamilton, and others, we discern that they were all men who insisted upon being themselves and who refused to truckle to the people. With each succeeding generation, the growing demand of the people that its elective officials shall not lead but merely register the popular will has steadily undermined the independence of those who derive their power from popular election. The persistent refusal of the Adamses to sacrifice the integrity of their own intellectual and moral standards and values for the sake of winning public office or popular favor is another of the measuring rods by which we may measure the divergence of American life from its starting point.
James Truslow Adams
Our offices are filled with people working their lives out to enrich their boss, government or company.
Sunday Adelaja
Formal business situations are likely to be the least revealing because these are the times when all of us are most likely to have our ‘game faces' on.
Abhishek Ratna
A true professional not only follows but loves the processes, policies and principles set by his profession.
Amit Kalantri
When you were making excuses someone else was making enterprise.
Amit Kalantri
Putting your time in at the office; dutifully spawning your two point five; smiling politely at your retirement party; then chewing on your bedsheet and choking on your canned peaches at the nursing home. It was better never to have been born-never to have wanted anything, never to have hoped for anything.
Donna Tartt
