For many of us (OK, all of us), Labor Day is all about celebrating the final days of summer, kicking back with friends and enjoying one of our last outdoor barbecues of the season. It’s about taking one more road trip before the freedom of warm weather ends, hitting the beach or just relaxing at home before going back to school or work. (And we can’t forget all those great Labor Day sales.)
That’s all fine and good (and we love it all), but sometimes we forget what the real meaning of Labor Day is. The true intention of Labor Day is to recognize the contributions made by laborers to the United States.
This year, while you’re having a blast outdoors, take a moment to celebrate all of the hard work that makes our country what it is with these inspirational quotes.

The harder I work
Never work a day in your life
Never give up
Work before success
Idleness warps the mind
You still need to work
Work + Kindness = Amazingness
It’s all in the work
The day of rest
Care about what you do
Just do it
Take pleasure in your job
The joy of achievement
Love what you do
The universe will lead you
