Famous quotes containing the words workplace and/or authority:
“Most fathers will admit that having children does not change perceptibly the way they are treated or perceived in the workplace, even if their wives work. Everyone at his workplace assumes that she will take on the responsibilities of the children and the home, even if she too is in the office all day.”
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
“No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
