Your Quotes for 5 September 2005 - Labor

Today is Labor Day in the US, a day to honor those who labor. Which is, as far as I can tell, just about everybody. I'm not sure quite what it means to honor labor by canceling one day of it, but then a lot of us get to work today anyway. Whatever labor you do, and whether or not you get to stop doing it today, I salute you.

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life depends on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the measure as I have received and am still receiving.
     - Albert Einstein, 1879 - 1955

I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win - if you don't you won't.
     - Bruce Jenner

     - Cullen Hightower

Oh, let none think his labor is lost because the fruit does not immediately appear.
     - John Wesley, 1703 - 1791

To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.
     - Bette Davis, 1908 - 1989

A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist.
     - Louis Nizer, 1902 - 1994
