Famous quotes containing the word employment:
“It is easier for a man to be thought fit for an employment that he has not, than for one he stands already possessed of, and is exercising.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Combining paid employment with marriage and motherhood creates safeguards for emotional well-being. Nothing is certain in life, but generally the chances of happiness are greater if one has multiple areas of interest and involvement. To juggle is to diminish the risk of depression, anxiety, and unhappiness.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“What exercise is to the body, employment is to the mind and morals.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
