Labour

Famous quotes containing the word labour:

“By this also ye must know that women have dominion over you: do ye not labour and toil, and give and bring all to the woman?

—Apocrypha. Zorobabel, in Esdras I 4:22-24.

Until the day’s out and the labour done,
Then bring your gauges.”

—Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
