Famous quotes containing the words opinions and/or work:

    “We take the opinions and the knowledge of others into our keeping, and that is all. We must make them our own.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    “Freedom of enterprise was from the beginning not altogether a blessing. As the liberty to work or to starve, it spelled toil, insecurity, and fear for the vast majority of the population. If the individual were no longer compelled to prove himself on the market, as a free economic subject, the disappearance of this freedom would be one of the greatest achievements of civilization.”
    —Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
