“Light is the task where many share the toil.”
Homer
“Sure I am this day we are masters of our fate, that the task which has been set before us is not above our strength; that its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance. As long as we have faith in our own cause and an unconquerable will to win, victory will not be denied us.”
Winston Churchill
“Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble”
William Shakespeare
“Recollect that the Almighty, who gave the dog to be companion of our pleasures and our toils, hath invested him with a nature noble and incapable of deceit”
Sir Walter Scott
“Toil is man's allotment; toil of brain, or toil of hands, or a grief that's more than either, the grief and sin of idleness”
Herman Melville
“Consider the lilies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin; And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these”
Bible
“The path that leads to a loaf of bread, Winds through the swamps of toil; And the path that leads to a suit of clothes, Goes through a flowerless soil, And the paths that lead to the loaf of bread, And the suit of clothes are hard to tread”
Sam Walter Foss
