Labour Victory

Famous quotes containing the words labour and/or victory:

“Let no one till his death
Be called unhappy. Measure not the work
Until the day’s out and the labour done.”

“[holds her by the hand, silent] O mother, mother!
What have you done? Behold, the heavens do ope,
The gods look down, and this unnatural scene
They laugh at. O my mother, mother! O!
You have won a happy victory to Rome;
But, for your son, believe it—O, believe it—
Most dangerously you have with him prevailed,
If not most mortal to him.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
