Thread Work

Famous quotes containing the words thread and/or work:

“Oh sure, everyone goes back to the earth at some point, but life itself is a thread that is never broken, never lost. Do you know why?

—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)

“Idleness makes people feeble and peevish. Work makes them stalwart and prone to anger.”
