Laboring through a world every day more stultified, which expected salvation in codes and governments, ever more willing to settle for suburban narratives and diminished payoffs--what were the chances of finding anyone else seeking to transcend that, and not even particularly aware of it?
Thomas Pynchon
Image
Laboring men can perform for themselves the office of becoming their own employers.
Leland Stanford
Image
The golf links lie so near the mill, That almost every day, The laboring children can look out, And watch the men at play
Sarah Norcliffe Cleghorn
Image
Of all the contrivances for cheating the laboring classes of mankind, none has been more effective than that which deludes them with paper money.
Daniel Webster
Image
Most people aren't anywhere near to realizing their creative potential, in part because they're laboring in environments that impede intrinsic motivation.
Teresa Amabile
Image
It is notorious that, whenever the demand for labor is much greater than the supply, or the wages of labor are much higher than the expenses of living, very many, even on the ordinary laboring class, are remarkable for indolence, and work no more than compelled by necessity.
Edmund Ruffin
Image
He mocks the people who proposes that the government shall protect the rich and that they in turn will care for the laboring poor.
Grover Cleveland
Image
Organize, and stand together. Claim something together, and at once let the nation hear a united demand from the laboring voice, and then, when you have got that, go on after another but get something.
Wendell Phillips
Image
The laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
It's certain there is no fine thing Since Adam's fall but needs much laboring.
William Butler Yeats
Image
As it becomes more and more difficult to get land, so will the virtual enslavement of the laboring-classe s go on. As the value of land rises, more and more of the earnings of labor will be demanded for the use of land, until finally nothing is left to laborers but the wages of slavery -- a bare living.
Henry George
Image
Hundreds of poor laboring men and women are being thrown into jails and police stations because of their political beliefs. In fact, an attempt is being made to deport an entire political party.
Jane Addams
Image
Yet, so far from laboring to know the forbidden tree of worldly pleasures and its various fruits, man gives himself up to a careless and thoughtless state of life, and yields to the lust of the flesh, not considering that this lust is really the forbidden tree.
Johann Arndt
Image
Woman, I hold, is the personification of self-sacrifice, but unfortunately today she does not realize what a tremendous advantage she has over man. As Tolstoy used to say, they are laboring under the hypnotic influence of man. If they would realize the strength of non-violence they would not consent to be called the weaker sex.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Sacrifice self to bless one another, even as God has blessed you. Forget self in laboring for mankind.
Mary Baker Eddy
Image
If there must always be a laboring population distinct from proprietors and employers, we regard the slave system as decidedly preferable to the system at wages.
Orestes Brownson
Image
The doctor will persist in laboring under the delusion that patients want common sense instead of magic.
Rae Foley
Image
The liberal reward of labor, therefore, as it is the necessary effect, so it is the natural symptom of increasing national wealth. The scanty maintenance of the laboring poor, on the other hand, is the natural symptom that things are at a stand, and their starving condition that they going backwards fast.
Adam Smith
Image
Are we truly obeying the command to love our neighbor as ourselves if we're storing up money for potential future needs when our neighbor is laboring today under actual present needs?
Randy Alcorn
Image
Yonder cloud That rises upward always higher, And onward drags a laboring breast, And topples round the dreary west, A looming bastion fringed with fire.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Image
You never find people laboring to convince you that you may live very happily upon a plentiful income.
Samuel Johnson
Image
The way a source strains toward the light, toward the air. Its laboring work, its effort, its black passageways like despair. That’s the way a poet looks for words. With muscles, gestures.
Anna Kamienska
Image
[H]ow do I pity those who (assuming the name of friends) surround themselves with maxims importing the wisdom of doubt and suspicion, 'til they impose on themselves that very hard task of laboring through life without ever knowing a human creature to whom they can make the proper use of language and freely speak the dictates of their hearts!
Sarah Fielding
Image
When you are laboring for others, let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.
Confucius
