Industry/war

Famous quotes containing the words industry and/or war:

    As our boys and men are all expecting to be Presidents, so our girls and women must all hold themselves in readiness to preside in the White House; and in no city in the world can honest industry be more at a discount than in this capital of the government of the people.
    Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)

    Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
