Famous quotes containing the word employment:
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“What exercise is to the body, employment is to the mind and morals.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

To give employment to the artisan.”
