Labour

Famous quotes containing the word labour:

    Through throats where many rivers meet, the curlews cry,
    Under the conceiving moon, on the high chalk hill,
    And there this night I walk in the white giant’s thigh
    Where barrren as boulders women lie longing still
    To labour and love though they lay down long ago.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Measure not the work
    Until the day’s out and the labour done,
    Then bring your gauges.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    We all labour against our own cure, for death is the cure of all diseases.
    Thomas Browne (1605–1682)
