A Quote by Philibert Joseph Roux

No labor is hopeless. — © Philibert Joseph Roux
No labor is hopeless.
Nothing is so envied as genius, nothing so hopeless of attainment by labor alone. Though labor always accompanies the greatest genius, without the intellectual gift labor alone will do little.
One finds fortunes built on slave labor, indentured labor, prison labor, immigrant labor, female labor, child labor, and scab labor - backed by the lethal force of gun thugs and militia. 'Old money' is often little more than dirty money laundered by several generations of possession.
Labor, being itself a commodity, is measured as such by the labor time needed to produce the labor-commodity. And what is needed to produce this labor-commodity? Just enough labor time to produce the objects indispensable to the constant maintenance of labor, that is, to keep the worker alive and in a condition to propagate his race. The natural price of labor is no other than the wage minimum.
There is no more futile punishment than futile and hopeless labor.
Capital is a result of labor, and is used by labor to assist it in further production. Labor is the active and initial force, and labor is therefore the employer of capital.
The tendency of taxation is to create a class of persons who do not labor, to take from those who do labor the produce of that labor, and to give it to those who do not labor.
Remember, there is no situation so completely hopeless that something constructive cannot be done about it. When faced with a minus, ask yourself what you can do to make it a plus. A person practicing this attitude will extract undreamed-of outcomes from the most unpromising situations. Realize that there are no hopeless situations; there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.
There are no hopeless situations; there are only men who have grown hopeless about them.
Realize that there are not hopeless situations; there are only people who take hopeless attitudes.
Hopeless causes are the only ones worth fighting for. The fight for the taxpayer is the most hopeless of them all.
A lot of people thought 'Funcrusher' was super dark and hopeless, and I don't think it was hopeless in any way.
I'm a hopeless mother; a hopeless wife; I have to try harder. I'm just a pathetic case history, really.
Labor, like Israel, has many sorrows. Its women weep for their fallen and they lament for the future of the children of the race. It ill behooves one who has supped at labor's table and who has been sheltered in labor's house to curse with equal fervor and fine impartiality both labor and its adversaries when they become locked in deadly embrace.
There are no hopeless situations, sweetheart, only people who have grown hopeless about them. You still have choices you can make.
It is but a truism that labor is most productive where its wages are largest. Poorly paid labor is inefficient labor, the world over.
I think another [myth] is that some marriages are just hopeless. This is a common thing I hear from people, "Well, I just think there are some marriages that are hopeless, Dr. Chapman, don't you agree with that?" I say I understand the feeling, but the fact is that there are no marriages that are hopeless.
