“[My wife and I] had the blessing of having an abundance of work to do, and we did that work; by God's grace we gave ourselves to it; and this abundance of work greatly tended, instrumentally, to the increase of our happiness...Many, even true Christians, make the mistake of aiming after a position in which they may be free from work, and have all their time on hand. They know not that they wish for some very great evil, instead of some very great blessing.” - George Mueller

“The retirement booby trap kills and maims and destroys so many lives each year—'the biggest killer disease in America today.' Most men don't die of old age, they die of retirement.

Save your life and you will lose it.” - Ralph Winter (Why not a new missions career between 65 and eternity?)

“Six days shalt thou labor.”  - The fourth commandment.

“I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; the night comes when no man can work.” - Jesus
