Believe me, the man who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, eats oftener a sweeter morsel, however coarse, than he who procures it by the labor of his brains.
The laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day.
My father's family came from Virginia and Philadelphia. He wasn't a brother who talked a lot. He was a workingman, a quiet, blue-collar dude.
I think if I'd never had found pro wrestling, I'd be a blue collar guy, working a 9-to-5 job.
There are some men in this world who are born to do our unpleasant jobs for us. Your father's one of them.
I class myself as a manual laborer.
Hey, hey, the working man, the working man like me. I ain't never been on welfare, that's one place I won't be.
My father was a manual worker.
The manual worker does not have to sell his personality. He doesn't have to sell his smile.
There is nothing glamorous in what I do. I'm a working man. Perhaps I’m luckier than most in that I receive considerable satisfaction from doing useful work which I, and sometimes others, think is good.
A man is a worker. If he is not that he is nothing.
I sometimes think it ironic for an ex-seaman, longshoreman, truck driver, policeman, bus driver, etc... to find success writing children's novels.
I'm just a guy who rolls up his sleeves and goes to work!
You might be a redneck if you have been fired from a construction job because of your appearance.
I've worked in a factory. I was a garbage man. I worked in a post office. It's not that long ago. I like to think that I'm just a regular guy.
I call myself a labourer because I take pride in calling myself a spinner, weaver, farmer and scavenger.
At the working man’s house, hunger looks in but dares not enter.
I'm very blue collar myself. So it was easy for me to embody that in a sense. It's much harder for me to embody Norrell than it is to embody Terry Donovan.
I liked being Eddie the Eagle, but I also like being Michael Edwards, plasterer and general builder.
Don't call me 'gentleman'. I work for a livin'.
Justin Smith was one of the most underrated players in the NFL for what he did. He would sacrifice and do the dirty work, then someone else would clean up off it.
When I'm gone I'll be remembered as the workin' man who put his point across with a right hand full of knuckles.
They see me as an ordinary guy, like a construction worker or the guy who delivers your piano.
