Labour

Famous quotes containing the word labour:

“A man’s labour is not only his capital but his life. When it passes it returns never more. To utilise it, to prevent its wasteful squandering, to enable the poor man to bank it up for use hereafter, this surely is one of the most urgent tasks before civilisation.”
—William Booth (1829–1912)

“He’ll fear not what men say,
He’ll labour night and day
To be a Pilgrim.”
—John Bunyan (1628–1688)

“Work apace, apace, apace, apace;
Honest labour bears a lovely face;”
—Thomas Dekker (1572?–1632?)
