Famous quotes containing the word earn:
“The strongest reason why we ask for woman a voice in the government under which she lives; in the religion she is asked to believe; equality in social life, where she is the chief factor; a place in the trades and professions, where she may earn her bread, is because of her birthright to self-sovereignty; because, as an individual, she must rely on herself.”

“I have everything in the world that is necessary to happiness, good faith, good friends and all the work I can possibly do.

I believe in toil, in the dignity of labor, but I also believe in adequate compensation for that toil.”
—Anna Howard Shaw (18471919)
“I earn that I eat, get that I wear, owe no man hate,
envy no mans happiness, glad of other mens good, content
with my harm.”
