Famous quotes containing the words trivial and/or theory:

“Let a man take time enough for the most trivial deed, though it be but the paring of his nails.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The theory [before the twentieth century] ... was that all the jobs in the world belonged by right to men, and that only men were by nature entitled to wages. If a woman earned money, outside domestic service, it was because some misfortune had deprived her of masculine protection.”
