Sweat

Famous quotes containing the word sweat:

    To say yes, you have to sweat and roll up your sleeves and plunge both hands into life up to the elbows. It’s easy to say no, even if it means dying.
    Jean Anouilh (1910–1987)

    They do not sweat and whine about their condition,
    They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins,
    They do not make me sick discussing their duty to God,
    Not one is dissatisfied—not one is demented with the mania of owning things,
    Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of
    years ago,
    Not one is respectable or industrious over the whole earth.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    In the early days of the world, the Almighty said to the first of our race “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread”; and since then, if we except the light and the air of heaven, no good thing has been, or can be enjoyed by us, without having first cost labour.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
