When Joe reminded him that sometime in the future they were going to put on the gloves together, he could almost have screamed. "Remember, Joe, you're to run the laundry according to those old rules you used to lay down at Shelly Hot Springs," he said. "No overworking. No working at night. And no children at the mangles. No children anywhere. And a fair wage."
Overworking one's bodily strength, which grows out of a wrong ambition, and is trusting one's own efforts more than God's power, and which always involves disobedience of His law for the body. Over-anxiety which robs the mind of its freshness, and the spirit of its sweetness, and whose roots are the same as overwork. The hot hasty word. The uncontrolled temper.
And not only that, but even before his birth the qualities that are not strictly and inevitably inherited are also beginning to be made. The artificial, the avoidable handicap also, may have commenced in the worrying, the overworking or the starving of his mother. In the first few months of his life very slight differences in treatment may have life-long consequences.
Her parted lips seemed somehow to lighten her face. "This doesn't quite compare with nine hours a day over a sewing machine, with a hundred other girls packed into a small room," she reminded him.

They were going to stay at Marazion that night and the next, and spend the day bicycling to Land's End and back.

You're gray in the face.... And the way you're perspiring...." Inspector Vérot wiped his forehead and, pulling himself together, said: "It's just a little tiredness.... I've been overworking myself lately: I was very keen on clearing up a case which Monsieur Desmalions had put in my hands. All the same, I have a funny sort of feeling " "Will you have a pick-me-up?" "No, no; I'm more thirsty."
"So it is for the last ten miles. We are twenty-five miles from St. Blasien here." "Isn't there anywhere between here and St. Blasien? What's that little place there on the lake?" "It isn't St. Blasien, or anywhere near it. There's a danger in beginning that sort of thing." "There's a danger in overworking oneself. One should study moderation in all things.
Burgoyne was off colour, and Collins's excuse that he had been overworking lately did not save him from being kicked out of the side after the match.
"I don't like to contradict you, but I cannot be this ingenious youth whose matrimonial enterprise so deeply interests you, since I am not married, and I was hurt severely." "Thee had been overworking," said Mrs. Yocomb kindly. "Working foolishly rather. I thought I had broken down, but sleep and your kindness have so revived me that I scarcely know myself.
Left to gain full strength in wantonness and rage, no power can any more redeem it: but watch the channels of every early impulse, and fence them, and your torrent becomes the gentlest and most blessing of servants." His mother was anxious for him to come home, being persuaded that he was overworking himself in the continued heat which his letters reported.
