Workmen Act

Famous quotes containing the words workmen and/or act:

    When workmen strive to do better than well,
    They do confound their skill in covetousness.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If your mother tells you to do a thing, it is wrong to reply that you won’t. It is better and more becoming to intimate that you will do as she bids you, and then afterwards act quietly in the matter according to the dictates of your better judgment.
