Labor was the first price,
the original purchase-money that was paid for all
things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labor,
that all wealth of the world was originally purchased. -
Adam Smith
The end of labor is to gain leisure. - Aristotle
Labor Day is a glorious holiday because your child will
be going back to school the next day. It would have been
called Independence Day, but that name was already
taken. - Bill Dodds
Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate
for the health and well-being of himself and his family,
including food, clothing, housing, and medical care and
necessary social services. - Article 25 of the United
Nations Declaration of Human Rights (signed 12/10/48)
The vital force of labor added materially to the highest
standard of living and the greatest production the world
has ever known and has brought us closer to the
realization of our traditional ideals of economic and
political democracy. It is appropriate, therefore, that
the nation pay tribute on Labor Day to the creator of so
much of the nation's strength, freedom, and leadership -
the American worker. - Quote from the
Department of Labor |
