Labor Government

Famous quotes containing the words labor and/or government:

    Sleep, nature’s rest, divine tranquillity,
    That brings peace to the mind and chases far
    All care; that soothes our breasts by daily toil
    Over-wearied, and prepares for labor new.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    A certain secret jealousy of the British Minister is always lurking in the breast of every American Senator, if he is truly democratic; for democracy, rightly understood, is the government of the people, by the people, for the benefit of Senators, and there is always a danger that the British Minister may not understand this political principle as he should.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
