Famous quotes containing the word labour:

    He’ll fear not what men say,
    He’ll labour night and day
    To be a Pilgrim.

    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    What a vast traffic is drove, what a variety of labour is performed in the world to the maintenance of thousands of families that altogether depend on two silly if not odious customs; the taking of snuff and smoking of tobacco; both of which it is certain do infinitely more hurt than good to those that are addicted to them!
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
