Famous quotes containing the word industry:

    “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)

    “... we’re not out to benefit society, to remold existence, to make industry safe for anyone except ourselves, to give any small peoples except ourselves their rights. We’re not out for submerged tenths, we’re not going to suffer over how the other half lives. We’re out for Mary’s job and Luella’s art, and Barbara’s independence and the rest of our individual careers and desires.”
    —Anne O’Hagan (1869–?)

    “No delusion is greater than the notion that method and industry can make up for lack of mother-wit, either in science or in practical life.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
