Million Working Days

Famous quotes containing the words million, working and/or days:

    Thus every Part was full of Vice,
    Yet the whole Mass a Paradise...
    The worst of all the Multitude
    Did something for the Common Good.
    ... ...Luxury
    Employ’d a Million of the Poor,
    And odious Pride a Million more...
    ... ...the very Poor
    Liv’d better than the Rich before...
    Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)

    I would like [the working man] to give me back books and newspapers and theories. And I would like to give him back, in return, his old insouciance, and rich, original spontaneity and fullness of life.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Never were days yet called two
    But one night went betwixt.
