Fair Wage

Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or wage:

    Lord Thomas was buried in the church,
    Fair Ellinor in the choir;
    And out from her bosom there grew a red rose
    And out of Lord Thomas a briar.
    —Unknown. Lord Thomas and Fair Annet (l. 77–80)

    It is the women of Europe who pay the price while war rages, and it will be the women who will pay again when war has run its bloody course and Europe sinks down into the slough of poverty like a harried beast too spent to wage the fight. It will be the sonless mothers who will bend their shoulders to the plough and wield in age-palsied hands the reaphook.
    Kate Richards O’Hare (1877–1948)
