Famous quotes containing the words labour and/or conditions:

    ““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)

    “To get it right, be born with luck or else make it. Never give up. Get the knack of getting people to help you and also pitch in yourself. A little money helps, but what really gets it right is to never—I repeat—never under any conditions face the facts.”
    —Ruth Gordon (1896–1985)
