Famous quotes containing the words chair and/or labour:
“My chair was nearest to the fire
In every company
That talked of love or politics,
Ere Time transfigured me.”

“What a vast traffic is drove, what a variety of labour is performed in the world to the maintenance of thousands of families that altogether depend on two silly if not odious customs; the taking of snuff and smoking of tobacco; both of which it is certain do infinitely more hurt than good to those that are addicted to them!”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
