Labor Day Hurricane

Famous quotes containing the words labor, day and/or hurricane:

“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)

“The day of fire is coming, the thrush
will fly ablaze like a little sky rocket....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

“Staid middle age loves the hurricane passions of opera.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
