Employ

Famous quotes containing the word employ:

“Stories of law violations are weighed on a different set of scales in the Black mind than in the white. Petty crimes embarrass the community and many people wistfully wonder why Negroes don’t rob more banks, embezzle more funds and employ graft in the unions.... This ... appeals particularly to one who is unable to compete legally with his fellow citizens.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

“Don’t employ someone you suspect, nor suspect someone you employ.”
—Chinese proverb.

“Congress has scarcely any thing to employ them, and complain that the place [Washington, D.C.] is remarkably dull.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
