Famous quotes containing the words labour and/or conditions:

    “Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?

    Yea, beds for all who come.”
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    all the conditions of its existence,
    may have flaked off the paint, if ever it was painted,
    and made it homelier than it was.”
