Labor was the first price, the original purchase - money that was paid for all things.
Adam Smith
A person who is too nice an observer of the business of the crowd, like one who is too curious in observing the labor of bees, will often be stung for his curiosity.
Alexander Pope
We are so bound together that no man can labor for himself alone. Each blow he strikes in his own behalf helps to mold the universe.
Jerome K. Jerome
There is no labor a person does that is undignified; if they do it right.
Bill Cosby
Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth - look at the dying man's struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment.
Soren Kierkegaard
Dignify and glorify common labor. It is at the bottom of life that we must begin, not at the top.
Booker T. Washington
By rendering the labor of one, the property of the other, they cherish pride, luxury, and vanity on one side; on the other, vice and servility, or hatred and revolt.
James Madison
The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labor.
George Orwell
To be born woman is to know - although they do not speak of it at school - women must labor to be beautiful.
William Butler Yeats
But because many endeavor to get knowledge rather than to live well, they are often deceived and reap little or no benefit from their labor.
Thomas Kempis
A bad book is as much of a labor to write as a good one, it comes as sincerely from the author's soul.
Aldous Huxley
There will soon come an armed contest between capital and labor. They will oppose each other, not with words and arguments, but with shot and shell, gun-powder and cannon. The better classes are tired of the insane howling of the lower strata and they mean to stop them.
William Tecumseh Sherman
Everything in the world is purchased by labor.
David Hume
The great dialectic in our time is not, as anciently and by some still supposed, between capital and labor; it is between economic enterprise and the state.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Yet it is in this loneliness that the deepest activities begin. It is here that you discover act without motion, labor that is profound repose, vision in obscurity, and, beyond all desire, a fulfillment whose limits extend to infinity.
Thomas Merton
Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.
Thomas Merton
Labor disgraces no man; unfortunately, you occasionally find men who disgrace labor.
Ulysses S. Grant
A mule will labor ten years willingly and patiently for you, for the privilege of kicking you once.
William Faulkner
All wealth is the product of labor.
John Locke
Without labor nothing prospers.
Sophocles
