Labor Day Hurricane

Famous quotes containing the words labor, day and/or hurricane:

    ... continual hard labor deadens the energies of the soul, and benumbs the faculties of the mind; the ideas become confined, the mind barren, and, like the scorching sands of Arabia, produces nothing; or, like the uncultivated soil, brings forth thorns and thistles. Again, continual hard labor irritates our tempers and sours our dispositions; the whole system become worn out with toil and fatigue; nature herself becomes almost exhausted, and we care but little whether we live or die.
    Maria Stewart (1803–1879)

    If men cease to believe that they will one day become gods then they will surely become worms.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    Staid middle age loves the hurricane passions of opera.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
