Famous quotes containing the word labour:
“The habits of our whole species fall into three great classes—useful labour, useless labour, and idleness. Of these the first only is meritorious; and to it all the products of labor rightfully belong; but the two latter, while they exist, are heavy pensioners upon the first, robbing it of a large portion of its just rights. The only remedy for this is to, as far as possible, drive useless labour and idleness out of existence.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“A bad book is as much of a labour to write as a good one; it comes as sincerely from the author’s soul.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“Work apace, apace, apace, apace;
Honest labour bears a lovely face;”
—Thomas Dekker (1572?–1632?)
