Famous quotes containing the word employment:
“The boatmen appeared to lead an easy and contented life, and we thought that we should prefer their employment ourselves to many professions which are much more sought after. They suggested how few circumstances are necessary to the well-being and serenity of man, how indifferent all employments are, and that any may seem noble and poetic to the eyes of men, if pursued with sufficient buoyancy and freedom.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is easier for a man to be thought fit for an employment that he has not, than for one he stands already possessed of, and is exercising.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
