Famous quotes containing the words employer and/or number:
“If factory-labor is not a means of education to the operative of to-day, it is because the employer does not do his duty. It is because he treats his work-people like machines, and forgets that they are struggling, hoping, despairing human beings.”
—Harriet H. Robinson (1825–1911)
“I wonder love can have already set
In dreams, when we’ve not met
More times than I can number on one hand.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
