Direct Labour Hours

Famous quotes containing the words direct, labour and/or hours:

“As for your friend, my prospective reader, I hope he ignores Fort Sumter, and “Old Abe,” and all that; for that is just the most fatal, and, indeed, the only fatal weapon you can direct against evil ever; for, as long as you know of it, you are particeps criminis.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“They shift coffee-houses and chocolate-houses from hour to hour, to get over the insupportable labour of doing nothing.”

“Moisture and color and odor thicken here.
The hours of daylight gather atmosphere.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
