Work - Wikiquote

The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration.
"My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit.

Holy Spirit

This Spirit of God is still working for the good and happiness of mankind, and It will continue to work until men shall become in harmony with themselves as first created.
The Way described is the only Way, and men must not believe and rest in the security of the belief that every working of the Spirit of God is the working of the Holy Spirit.
And this further demonstrates the fact that God, through and by this Spirit, is with men always-in the lowest hells as well as in the highest heavens of the perfect man. It is working continuously, ceaselessly, and always at the call of men, be that call mental or spiritual.

The Seventeen 'Straw Men' of the True Church

Are the scriptures truly being used in a valid way to establish these "points" or are they, in fact, "straw men" set up as easy targets for the eager young missionaries to pop away at, thus making the orthodox Christian church look bad?
Although it is true that the ward and stake officials in Mormonism work for nothing, the regional and general authorities of the church all draw salaries for their work.

The Holy Ghost Straw Men: Full Gospel Excuses For Continuing In Error

Yet another one of the grotesque Holy Ghost straw men that scuttle about the Pentecostal and Charismatic worlds is one that upholds doctrine as the "wisdom of man" that quenches the Spirit of God.
Some of these straw men were created by Pentecostals and Charismatics to serve in their energetic defenses of their doctrines and teachings actually have gained lives of their own and have refused to die, finding themselves erected time and time again throughout their churches in a supportive role of their own beliefs.
With the other Holy Ghost straw men marching in lockstep with these claims, (such as the Touch Not The Anointed and Doctrine Is Your Opinion arguments), and with Biblical discernment at all time low, the die is cast and the new thing soars out among us virtually unscathed.

SHUAR: talking with Ecuadorian Amazon medicine men

Ever since that day it has been the duty of all Shuar men to protect and revere their women.
When Shuar men return to their homes from work, they sit and drink chicha, a kind of fermented root beer.
An uwishin, who may be a man or a woman, has a great deal of knowledge of medicinal plants with very powerful cures, through learning from others, and through experiments from the plants themselves.

The Roots of Democracy

Puritans believed that all men were born sinners, this was known as the idea of "original sin." For the Puritans the only way to be saved (go to heaven) was by the grace of god.
Puritans immersed themselves in their work and avoided art, sculpture, poetry, drama or anything else that might be seen as a distraction.
The Puritans believed that man must follow the Bible exactly and try to communicate directly with God.

Art Libraries Society of North America : Lesbians, Bisexuals & Gay Men in the Workplace: A Selective Bibliography

This bibliography was prepared to accompany the presentation "The Personal Is Professional AND Political: Lesbians and Gay Men at Work" for the panel "Promoting and Managing Our Diversity" at the Art Libraries Society of North America 1996 Annual Conference, Miami Beach, April 26, 1996.
It was compiled for three reasons: (1) to assist heterosexuals in understanding the issues that their lesbian, bisexual and gay colleagues face daily at work, (2) to assist lesbians, bisexuals and gay men while they cope with these issues, and (3) to assist mangers in dealing with lesbian, bisexual and gay issues in the workplace.

Men vs. Women ? No Men and Women Together!

But today, women have broken the covenant at the outset and as studies prove, she is the one who most often starts the arguments and more often than men engages in physical violence, in which case she loses and the man gets the blame, of course.
Since men represent God in the marriage relationship, and women represent the congregation of Israel and the church, it seems more important to me that men be as perfect as possible.
Men, husbands and fathers are certainly exploited in TV and movies—though probably not any more than women have been exploited over the years as mindless sex-objects.

Calvin's Institutes Book3, Chapter 11

How could the argument hold unless it be true that works are not to be taken into account, but are to be altogether separated?
That the righteousness of God is used for the righteousness which is approved by God, should be known to mere tyros, as in John, the praise of God is contrasted with the praise of men[10](John 12: 43).
He clearly declares that the only righteousness for him is that which alone suffices for complete salvation in the presence of God, so that that miserable bondage, the consciousness of which made him a little before lament his lot, derogates not from his confidence, and is no obstacle in his way.

Righteousness by Works

Thus, Righteousness by Works can be attained by following all of the commandments of God as laid out in the Holy Scriptures.
In fact, all of the great men and women of old exemplified Work's Righteousness in their individual lives, and when the children of Israel corporately practiced a degree of 'Righteousness by Works,' the nation as a whole was blessed accordingly.
Just what are these "good works" that were "prepared beforehand?" They can only be the righteous mitzvot (commandments) of God which are written in the Torah, having been given at Mt. Sinai some fifteen hundred years before the time of Paul.

"Men Without Women": Look Magazine' Offers a Guide to the Unmarried Man

And if a man attends church regularly, this is usually the result of family tradition or personal conviction—not because he knows that many men have met the women who became their wives at church or church socials.
Thus men and women are paired off as to age, race, religion, education and so on.
These men live at home with their mothers until the death of the parent “releases” them—and then find it difficult to carve out a different kind of life.

Thomas Carlyle's "Signs of the Times"

The truth is, men have lost their belief in the Invisible, and believe, and hope, and work only in the Visible; or, to speak it in other words: This is not a Religious age.
It speaks much, too, for men's indestructible love of truth, that nothing of this kind will abide with them; that even the talent of a Byron cannot permanently seduce us into idol worship; that he too, with all his wild siren charming, already begins to be disregarded and forgotten.
The casual deliration of a few becomes, by this mysterious reverberation, the frenzy of many; men lose the use, not only of their understandings, but of their bodily senses; while the most obdurate unbelieving hearts melt, like the rest, in the furnace where all are cast as victims and as fuel.

Equality of Men and Women

It promotes destructive attitudes and habits in men and women that pass from the family to the work place, to political life, and ultimately to international relations.
The Bahá'í Writings state that to proclaim equality is not to deny that differences in function between women and men exist but rather to affirm the complementary roles men and women fulfill in the home and society at large.
The elimination of discrimination against women is a spiritual and moral imperative that must ultimately reshape existing legal, economic, and social arrangements.

Max Weber - Protestant Ethic

After careful study, Weber came to the belief that the protestant ethic broke the hold of tradition while it encouraged men to apply themselves rationally to their work.
It was believed by followers of Calvin that one could not do good works or perform acts of faith to assure your place in heaven.
However, wealth was taken as a sign (by you and your neighbours) that you were one of the God's elect, thereby providing encouragement for people to acquire wealth.

Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit;

Fr Alexander Men lectures on Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev

Fr Mens enthusiasm and love for Berdyaev shows likewise the dynamic depths at work in Fr Mens mind and heart, a living and engaging response.
Fr Aleksandr Men, and those others like him, are true evidence that Berdyaevs long-ago seemingly hopeless faith in Russia, his Rodina, -- was not in vain!
In Peterburg at the beginning of the XX Century there occurred an important event -- the Peterburg Religio-Philosophic Gatherings began their work.

Men's Hour: Women

Nine out 10 women who have partners said they still do the bulk of household chores, while 81 per cent of mothers say they have to take time off work if their child is sick, rather than the father.
I not going to say all women lie or no man lies, but anyone who hasn't got the idea that women can lie, especially if given a completely gullible listener, should give me a call.
Women who are trapped inside a man's body (or men who want their whatits cut off, if you prefer) aren't being allowed to compete with women in sport because they might beat the little darlings....

Max Weber

It is true that the Protestant doctrines asked men to accept a humbler station and concentrate on mundane tasks and duties and, without a hierarchical church structure, there was no example of upward-mobility, acquisitiveness and expenditure.
The Protestant church had no such power and thus the inducement to the faithful to stay modest in consumption was high.
So too was it Catholic, but the Catholic Church had been more prepared to forgive these (and other) sins.

Sacred Cows and Straw Men

In Brown's address, she argued implicitly for a secular religion of psychology in which psychological practice and psychotherapy would serve as a means to enact judgement ("undermine the oppressive cultural status quo"; p.453) and bring about salvation ("the act of saving another human life"; p.
To complement this position is her construction of straw men out of those who seek to defend the accused and those who strive to make therapists responsible for their work.
She was quick to identify two of her arch enemies in this crusade; "managed care" and "false memories." However, in doing so, she was equally quick to create her sacred cows and straw men from both issues.

Men in Black (1997)

And the only thing that lets people get on with their hopeful little lives is that they don’t know about it." The Men in Black are a bit like the angels, I suppose, though as human beings they’re less suited to that kind of work.
In a couple of scenes the movie verges beyond satire and evokes a sense of poignancy in its pop mythology of a cadre of well-dressed but unsung heroes, men who sever all human contacts and lead lives of thankless vigilance on behalf of an unknowing, unappreciating populace.
Not that there’s any profound human meaning or moral underlying Men in Black.

Our men of letters

It was just the other day that a letter published by the Daily Moskovsky Komsomolets showed that Olga Ivinskaya, the Russian beauty who inspired the image of Lara in Boris Pasternak's Dr Zhivago, appealed from jail to Nikita Khrushchev to ease her punishment, citing services rendered to help the rebel author.
Back home, the letters written from prison by a father to his daughter are in themselves an extremely significant work.
Despite the fact that they have thrown to the wind all letters of administration that they have produced in such a short period, they may, in the future, be worthy of a book all by themselves.

Theology Today - Vol 38, No. 1 - April 1981 - BOOK REVIEW - Fire in the Minds of Men: Origins of the Revolutionary Faith

Everyman--A Men's Journal--Letters

One can suggest that men feel sidelined and intimidated and are being oppressed because their two fundamental purposes in life, fatherhood and providing for the family through work (which go beyond stereotyping and are both genetic and biological roles) have been systematically dismantled and handed over to women.
I saw a total of 24 rooms with magazine/photograph cutouts hanging on doors that depicted men or women who were partially clothed (shirtless/pantless men, or any pictures of women that struck me as "sexual," or the least bit revealing).
Lets not forget that men out of employment are at a greater risk of depression, substance abuse (which is 5xs higher amongst men), and suicide (75% of which are male) than their female counterparts.

If men do but so much as pretend for justice and righteousness, and be of peaceable spirits, and will manifest this, let them be the subjects of the magistrate's encouragement.
And I think I may say it hath committed the business to the trust of persons, both of the Presbyterian and Independent judgments, of as known ability, piety, and integrity as any, I believe this nation hath.
