Labour Standards

Famous quotes containing the words labour and/or standards:

“Let no one till his death
Be called unhappy. Measure not the work
Until the day’s out and the labour done.”
—Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

“In this nation I see tens of millions of its citizens, a substantial part of its whole population, who at this very moment are denied the greater part of what the very lowest standards of today call the necessities of life. I see one third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished. The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
