Famous quotes containing the words men and/or earn:
“Criticism is a study by which men grow important and formidable at very small expense. The power of invention has been conferred by nature upon few, and the labour of learning those sciences which may, by mere labour, be obtained, is too great to be willingly endured; but every man can exert some judgment as he has upon the works of others; and he whom nature has made weak, and idleness keeps ignorant, may yet support his vanity by the name of critic.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
““A man has got to keep his extrication.
The important thing is not to get bogged down
In what he has to do to earn a living....””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
