Labour Camp

Famous quotes containing the words labour and/or camp:

    Measure not the work
    Until the day’s out and the labour done,
    Then bring your gauges.
    Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    The Indians invited us to lodge with them, but my companion inclined to go to the log camp on the carry. This camp was close and dirty, and had an ill smell, and I preferred to accept the Indians’ offer, if we did not make a camp for ourselves; for, though they were dirty, too, they were more in the open air, and were much more agreeable, and even refined company, than the lumberers.... So we went to the Indians’ camp or wigwam.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
