Famous quotes containing the words earned and/or runs:

    “The theory [before the twentieth century] ... was that all the jobs in the world belonged by right to men, and that only men were by nature entitled to wages. If a woman earned money, outside domestic service, it was because some misfortune had deprived her of masculine protection.”
    —Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)

    “A cruel story runs on wheels, and every hand oils the wheels as they run.”
    —Ouida [Marie Louise De La Ramée] (1839–1908)
