Famous quotes containing the word sole:

    “All that we did, all that we said or sang
    Must come from contact with the soil, from that
    Contact everything Antaeus-like grew strong.
    We three alone in modern times had brought
    Everything down to that sole test again,
    Dream of the noble and the beggarman.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Unless a group of workers know their work is under surveillance, that they are being rated as fairly as human beings, with the fallibility that goes with human judgment, can rate them, and that at least an attempt is made to measure their worth to an organization in relative terms, they are likely to sink back on length of service as the sole reason for retention and promotion.”
    —Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
