Hired/lessons

Famous quotes containing the words hired and/or lessons:

“I hear ... foreigners, who would boycott an employer if he hired a colored workman, complain of wrong and oppression, of low wages and long hours, clamoring for eight-hour systems ... ah, come with me, I feel like saying, I can show you workingmen’s wrong and workingmen’s toil which, could it speak, would send up a wail that might be heard from the Potomac to the Rio Grande; and should it unite and act, would shake this country from Carolina to California.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)

“He who follows his lessons tastes a profound peace, and looks upon everybody as a bunch of manure.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
