Famous quotes containing the words labour and/or party:

    “A man’s labour is not only his capital but his life. When it passes it returns never more. To utilise it, to prevent its wasteful squandering, to enable the poor man to bank it up for use hereafter, this surely is one of the most urgent tasks before civilisation.”
    —William Booth (1829–1912)

    “There was an old party of Lyme
    Who married three wives at one time.”
    —Edward Lear (1812–1888)
