Economy Comfort

Famous quotes containing the words economy and/or comfort:

“The aim of the laborer should be, not to get his living, to get “a good job,” but to perform well a certain work; and, even in a pecuniary sense, it would be economy for a town to pay its laborers so well that they would not feel that they were working for low ends, as for a livelihood merely, but for scientific, or even moral ends. Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

““Forsooth, let go!”
But when we come where comfort is,
She never will say no.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
