Division Quotations
The more the division of labor and the application of machinery extend, the more does competition extend among the workers, the more do their wages shrink together.
Karl Marx
Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society.
John Adams
Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division; and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts.
Joseph Stalin
Instead of this absurd division into sexes they ought to class people as static and dynamic.
Evelyn Waugh
You think that a wall as solid as the earth separates civilization from barbarism. I tell you the division is a thread, a sheet of glass. A touch here, a push there, and you bring back the reign of Saturn.
John Buchan
Grant me thirty years of equal division of inheritances and a free press, and I will provide you with a republic.

Where the whole man is involved there is no work. Work begins with the division of labor.
