Famous quotes containing the words prison and/or labour:
“Oh who is that young sinner with the handcuffs on his wrists?
And what has he been after that they groan and shake their fists?
And wherefore is he wearing such a conscience-stricken air?
Oh they’re taking him to prison for the colour of his hair.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“Measure not the work
Until the day’s out and the labour done,
Then bring your gauges.”
