This got me to thinking which is sometimes dangerous. Back in the 70’s my best friend once said I want work to live not live to work. All these years I thought he was a genius for coming up with this but often wonder did he or did he just hear it elsewhere. Anyone know the origin of this phrase?

Socrates is credited with originating a phrase something like "wise people eat to live, not live to eat." Kind of a statement of moderation; and it is used by health advocates all the time. Good chance the "work" statement is a variation of that phrase.
