Famous quotes containing the words restoration and/or work:

    Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men, by the joint exertion of skill and humanity, are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity, since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    ... too many young painters of the day work for the crowd, and not for art. But, then, should not the painters of the day work for the education of the crowd?
    M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
