Famous quotes containing the word industry:

    “No delusion is greater than the notion that method and industry can make up for lack of mother-wit, either in science or in practical life.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “Do not put off your work until tomorrow and the day after. For the sluggish worker does not fill his barn, nor the one who puts off his work; industry aids work, but the man who puts off work always wrestles with disaster.”
