Sweat

Famous quotes containing the word sweat:

    In short, I am convinced, both by faith and experience, that to maintain one’s self on this earth is not a hardship but a pastime, if we will live simply and wisely; as the pursuits of the simpler nations are still the sports of the more artificial. It is not necessary that a man should earn his living by the sweat of his brow, unless he sweats easier than I do.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    O good old man, how well in thee appears
    The constant service of the antique world,
    When service sweat for duty, not for meed!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I dreamed my genesis in sweat of death, fallen
    Twice in the feeding sea, grown
    Stale of Adam’s brine until, vision
    Of new man strength, I seek the sun.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
