“Of what use can our labour be, when the labours we record are in themselves entirely useless?”
Henry Dircks, Perpetuum Mobile: Or a History of the Search for Self-Motive Power from the 13th to the 19th Century“Answer this to yourselves, & expel from among you those who pretend to despise the labours of Art & Science, which alone are the labours of the Gospel: Is not this plain & manifest to the thought? Can you think at all, & not pronounce heartily! That to Labour in Knowledge. is to Build up Jerusalem: and to Despise Knowledge, is to Despise Jerusalem & her Builders. And remember: He who despises & mocks a Mental Gift in another; calling it pride & selfishness & sin; mocks Jesus the giver of every Mental Gift. which always appear to the ignorance-loving Hypocrite, as Sins. but that which is a Sin in the sight of cruel Man. is not so in the sight of our kind God.”
William Blake, Jerusalem“Joy is the will which labours which overcomes obstacles which knows triumph.”
William Butler Yeats“In vain our labours are whatsoe'er they be unless God gives the Benediction.”
Robert Herrick“In vain our labours are whatsoe'er they be unless God gives the Benediction.”
Robert Herrick“Repose is necessary to great efforts, and he who is never idle, labours in vain!”
William Hazlitt“A small daily task, if it be really daily, will beat the labours of a spasmodic Hercules.”
Anthony Trollope
