Famous quotes containing the words price and/or fixing:

    ... work is only part of a man’s life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life. Workers are men and women with potentialities for mental and spiritual development as well as for physical health. We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)

    he dreadful darts
    With rapid glide along the leaning line;
    And, fixing in the wretch his cruel fangs
    James Thomson (1700–1748)
