Men do not die from overwork. They die from dissipation and worry.

Quotes by Charles Evans Hughes

Professionals feeling stretched thin, managers building healthier team cultures, or anyone reflecting on the difference between being busy and being genuinely productive.
Do overwork quotes ever offer a solution, not just a warning?
