Wage Laborer

Famous quotes containing the words wage and/or laborer:

“Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life; they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

“If the laborer gets no more than the wages which his employer pays him, he is cheated, he cheats himself.”
