QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON EMPLOYMENT
A man's labor is not only his capital but his life. When it passes it returns never more. To utilize it, to prevent its wasteful squandering, to enable the poor man to bank it up for use hereafter, this surely is one of the most urgent tasks before civilization.
William Booth (1829-1912, British religious leader, founder of the Salvation Army)
A man willing to work, and unable to find work, is perhaps the saddest sight that fortune's inequality exhibits under this sun.
Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881, Scottish philosopher, author)
An "unemployed" existence is a worse negation of life than death itself.
Jose Ortega Y Gasset (1883-1955, Spanish essayist, philosopher)
I would be a billionaire if I was looking to be a selfish boss. That's not me.
John Gotti (1940-, American mafia boss)
When we're unemployed, we're called lazy; when the whites are unemployed it's called a depression.

Not only our future economic soundness but the very soundness of our democratic institutions depends on the determination of our government to give employment to idle men.
Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882-1945, American President (32nd))
I don't pity any man who does hard work worth doing; I admire him. I pity the creature who does not work, at whichever end of the social scale he may regard himself as being.
Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919, American President (26th))
You take my life when you do take the means whereby I live.
William Shakespeare (1564-1616, British poet, playwright, actor)
A man who has no office to go to, I don't care who he is, is a trial of which you can have no conception.
