Famous quotes containing the words peace and/or work:
“So shaken as we are, so wan with care,
Find we a time for frighted peace to pant.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“More than ten million women march to work every morning side by side with the men. Steadily the importance of women is gaining not only in the routine tasks of industry but in executive responsibility. I include also the woman who stays at home as the guardian of the welfare of the family. She is a partner in the job and wages. Women constitute a part of our industrial achievement.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
