Labour

Famous quotes containing the word labour:

—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

““To be born woman is to know—
Although they do not talk of it at school—
That we must labour to be beautiful.””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“A bad book is as much of a labour to write as a good one; it comes as sincerely from the author’s soul.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
