含有labor字样的英语名言（2）

武夷山

去年“五一”整理过一批这样的名言，今年再来一批，以此作为献给大家的节日精神食粮。

1.Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
--Abraham Lincoln
劳动先于资本，独立于资本。资本只是劳动的果实，假定劳动不先出现，则资本永远不会存在。劳动居于资本之上，应获得更多的重视。

--林肯

2. A wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities.
--Thomas Jefferson（美国总统杰弗逊）

一个明智、节俭的政府，应该杜绝人们相互伤害的事体发生；只要不伤害别人，就应让人们自由地管理其勤勉追求好日子之事业；不应从劳工口中夺走其自己挣来的面包。这就是好政府的一切，这是形成幸福闭环的必要条件。

3. An artist is not paid for his labor but for his vision.
--James Whistler（1834-1903，美国出生的英国艺术家）

给艺术家付酬金，不是因为其付出的劳动，而是因为其展现的视野。

4. I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.
--John D. Rockefeller（约翰 D洛克菲勒）

我坚信劳动神圣，无论是脑力劳动还是体力劳动。社会不因任何一个人未过上好日子而亏欠于他，但社会必须给每个人提供谋生的机会。

5. Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.
--Confucius

学而不思则罔，死而不学则殆。

--孔子

6. A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.
--Victor Hugo

不能因为一个人沉湎于思考就说她懒惰，因为既有有形的劳动，又有无形的劳动。

--大文豪雨果

7. Dignify and glorify common labor. It is at the bottom of life that we must begin, not at the top.
--Booker T. Washington（1856-1915，美国黑人教育家、作家、演讲家）

要使日常劳动有尊严，有荣耀。我们必须首先打下生活大厦的基础，而不是先盖屋顶。

8. Difficulties strengthen the mind, as labor does the body.
--Lucius Annaeus Seneca（塞涅卡，古罗马哲学家）

困难砥砺心智，正如劳动锻炼体魄。

9. All wealth is the product of labor.
--John Locke

一切财富都是劳动的产物。

--约翰. 洛克

10. To fulfill a dream, to be allowed to sweat over lonely labor, to be given a chance to create, is the meat and potatoes of life. The money is the gravy.

--Bette Davis（1908-1989，美国早期著名女影星，曾10次获得奥斯卡最佳女主角提名，两次得奖）

追逐梦想,能够在孤寂的劳作中挥洒汗水,能够有创造的机会,这些才是生活之饭菜，而钱财不过是调味之卤汁。
