Efficiency Wages

Famous quotes containing the words efficiency and/or wages:

““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)

“If the wages of sin are death, what else, I should like to know, is the wages of virtue?”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
