Famous quotes containing the words labor, day and/or hurricane:
“The habits of our whole species fall into three great classesuseful labour, useless labour, and idleness. Of these the first only is meritorious; and to it all the products of labor rightfully belong; but the two latter, while they exist, are heavy pensioners upon the first, robbing it of a large portion of its just rights. The only remedy for this is to, as far as possible, drive useless labour and idleness out of existence.”
—Abraham Lincoln (18091865)
“Theres not a man or woman
Born under the skies
Dare match in learning with us two,
And all day long we have found
Theres not a thing but love can make
The world a narrow pound.”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Staid middle age loves the hurricane passions of opera.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
