About This Quote

In my opinion, the sun was made to light worthier toil than this. This quote is a very old saying and it means that there is no such thing as a hard job, only hard workers. Life provides us with all the necessities we need and if we work hard we can make sure those necessities are supplied to us. Our job is to make sure we do not waste our time and energy doing nothing and instead put it into making ourselves and others better.
