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)

    “To be born woman is to know—
    Although they do not talk of it at school—
    That we must labour to be beautiful.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

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