Labor

Famous quotes containing the word labor:

“When my hoe tinkled against the stones, that music echoed to the woods and the sky, and was an accompaniment to my labor which yielded an instant and immeasurable crop. It was no longer beans that I hoed, nor I that hoed beans; and I remembered with as much pity as pride, if I remembered at all, my acquaintances who had gone to the city to attend the oratorios.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Nothing is hard for lovers, no labor is difficult for those who wish it.”

“Learning without thinking is labor lost; thinking without learning is dangerous.”
