This one rings true for me:
Nobody on their deathbed ever looks back and says "Damn, I wish I'd worked more"
(I think there's alot of truth in it i.e. the moments we feel really alive usually come from elsewhere in our lives, not work. HOWEVER I think if you can really find/create meaningful or joyous work, you can have those moments in your work. And even if not, you still have to work to survive, just like you have to eat and sleep. But I think it's good to remember that unless your work is mega-fulfilling, you're probably gonna look back and wish you'd had more of those truly peak experiences you get from other things).

My first day working in a real garage at about 14 my boss had a talk with me.
"Don't complain about anything you get paid to do"
"Steal from us and we'll kill you"
"We like pussy here"
"If anyone pisses you off throw them the fuck out"
That's what he said.

There's only one thing that tastes great after a long, hot day of work. And that's pussy.
“I have a very simple rule when it comes to management: hire the best people from your competitors, pay them more than they were earning, and give them bonuses and incentives based on their performance. That’s how you build a first-class operation.”
― Donald J. Trump

If you're not part of the solution, there's a lot of money to be made by prolonging the problem.

For contractors and freelancers.
* Do you do good work?
* Do you deliver on time?
* Are you a likeable person?
If you can tick any two of those three boxes, people will accept the rest. You'll still get hired over and over again.
I'm paraphrasing from a video posted a few months back here on RVF.
