Famous quotes containing the words employer and/or number:
“If the laborer gets no more than the wages which his employer pays him, he is cheated, he cheats himself.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No Government can be long secure without a formidable Opposition. It reduces their supporters to that tractable number which can be managed by the joint influences of fruition and hope. It offers vengeance to the discontented, and distinction to the ambitious; and employs the energies of aspiring spirits, who otherwise may prove traitors in a division or assassins in a debate.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
