Never had ill workeman good tooles.

George Herbert

If this labourer were in possession of his own means of production, and was satisfied to live as a labourer, he need not work beyond beyond the time necessary for the reproduction of his means of subsistence, say 8 hours a day.

Karl Marx

I was a manual labourer. I figured out really early on that the value of my life could be determined by my hourly rate as a manual labourer digging holes.

Cliff Curtis

Every labourer is a father, his labour is his child. Choose your project carefully and achieve it worthily

Haile Selassie

When the labourer co-operates systematically with others, he strips off the fetters of his individuality, and develops the capabilities of his species.

Karl Marx

A gardener who cultivates his own garden with his own hands, unites in his own person the three different characters, of landlord, farmer, and labourer. His produce, therefore, should pay him the rent of the first, the profit of the second, and the wages of the third.

Adam Smith

Capitalist agricultural production prevents the return to the soil of its elements consumed by man in the form of food and clothing; it therefore violates the conditions necessary to lasting fertility of the soil. By this action it destroys at the same time the health of the town labourer and the intellectual life of the rural labourer.

Karl Marx

If the labourer consumes his disposable time for himself, he robs the capitalist.

Karl Marx

The labourer's muscle is that of a cart-horse, his motions lumbering and slow.

Richard Jefferies

If a soldier or labourer complain of the hardship of his lot, set him to do nothing.

Blaise Pascal

Every ill man hath his ill day.

George Herbert

When a watch goes ill, it is not enough to move the hands; you must set the regulator. When a man does ill, it is not enough to alter his handiwork, you must regulate his heart.

Augustus William Hare

When a soldier complains of his hard life (or a labourer, etc.) try giving him nothing to do.

Blaise Pascal

What the two hands of the labourer can achieve, the capitalist will never get with all his gold and silver.

Mahatma Gandhi

Almost every labourer has his Sunday suit, very often really good clothes, sometimes glossy black, with the regulation 'chimney pot'. His unfortunate walk betrays him, dress how he will.

Richard Jefferies

Every labourer is worthy of his hire. No country can produce thousands of unpaid whole-time workers.

Mahatma Gandhi
