Famous quotes containing the words labour and/or market:

    “To be born woman is to know—
    Although they do not talk of it at school—
    That we must labour to be beautiful.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Talk of a divinity in man! Look at the teamster on the highway, wending to market by day or night; does any divinity stir within him? His highest duty to fodder and water his horses! What is his destiny to him compared with the shipping interests?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
