Labour

Famous quotes containing the word labour:

    We have much studied and much perfected, of late, the great civilized invention of the division of labour; only we give it a false name. It is not, truly speaking, the labour that is divided; but the men.
    John Ruskin (1819–1900)

    “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)

    He’ll fear not what men say,
    He’ll labour night and day
    To be a Pilgrim.
    John Bunyan (1628–1688)
