"If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool.” Abraham Lincoln

“Our labor preserves us from three great evils -- weariness, vice, and want.”

Voltaire

 “But every acquisition that is disproportionate to the labor

spent on it is dishonest.” Leo Tolstoy

 

“No man needs sympathy because he has to work, because he has a burden to carry. Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work

hard at work worth doing.”

Theodore Roosevelt
