Simple Labour

Famous quotes containing the words simple and/or labour:

    Cannot a plain man live and think no harm,
    But that his simple truth must be abused
    With silken, sly, insinuating Jacks?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    You must labour to acquire that great and uncommon talent of hating with good breeding, and loving with prudence; to make no quarrel irreconcilable by silly and unnecessary indications of anger; and no friendship dangerous, in care it breaks, by a wanton, indiscreet, and unreserved confidence.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
