Famous quotes containing the words chair and/or labour:
“Come leave the loathed stage,
And the more loathsome age,
Where pride and impudence in faction knit
Usurp the chair of wit:
Indicting and arraigning every day,
Something they call a play.
Let their fastidious, vain
Commission of the brain,
Run on and rage, sweat, censure, and condemn:
They were not made for thee, less thou for them.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“Let no one till his death
Be called unhappy. Measure not the work
Until the day’s out and the labour done.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
