Famous quotes containing the words post and/or retirement:

—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The student who secures his coveted leisure and retirement by systematically shirking any labor necessary to man obtains but an ignoble and unprofitable leisure, defrauding himself of the experience which alone can make leisure fruitful.”
