Labor Quotes
-
Labor is service and service is life. And when we serve something more than ourselves, we feel alive.
Anthony Robbins
-
Marx saw exploitation in terms of the rewards of human labor, but we can see it in terms of all the values of our society.
Charles A. Reich

Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.
Thomas Sowell
-

You know, it's people's lives, so as you get a little older, your own life narrative, I guess, invades a little more. It's not like we're traveling in separate buses to each show. It's a labor of love, so we just do it because we like it. Maybe someone's gonna move, or not want to go on a tour for some reason - that could happen, I guess.
Stephen Malkmus

Astra Taylor

The things we pray for, good Lord, give us grace to labor for.
Thomas More
-
Life is best enjoyed when time periods are evenly divided between labor, sleep, and recreation...all people should spend one-third of their time in recreation which is rebuilding, voluntary activity, never idleness.
Brigham Young
-
All the past we leave behind; We debouch upon a newer, mightier world, varied world, Fresh and strong the world we seize, world of labor and the march, Pioneers! O Pioneers!
Walt Whitman
-
Prudence, patience, labor, valor; these are the stars that rule the career of mortals.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
-
The circulating medium being issued only by those who labor, they would suddenly become invested with all the wealth and all the power; and those who did not labor, be they ever so rich now, would as suddenly become poor and powerless.
Josiah Warren
