“The basis of world peace is the teaching which runs through almost all the great religions of the world. "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Christ, some of the other great Jewish teachers, Buddha, all preached it. Their followers forgot it. What is the trouble between capital and labor, what is the trouble in many of our communities, but rather a universal forgetting that this teaching is one of our first obligations.” WorldFirstsRunningPeaceChristCommunityForgetTeacherTroubleTeachingLaborUniversalBasesNeighborObligationFollowersThyselfOur CommunityLove Thy NeighborWorld Love Author:Eleanor Roosevelt
“Perhaps you say, Why are the wicked joyous? Why do they live in luxury? Why do they not toil with me? It is because they who have not put down their names to strive for the crown are not bound to undergo the labors of the contest. They who have not gone down into the race-course do not annoint themselves with oil nor get covered with dust. For those whom glory awaits trouble is at hand. The perfumed spectators are wont to look on, not to join in the struggle, nor to endure the sun, the heat, the dust, and the showers.” LooksHandsReligionCoursesNamesRaceStruggleSunGoneTroubleGloryLaborStriveEndureBoundsOilDustLuxuryHeatWickedCoveredCrownsShowersToilContestsSpectatorsJoyous Author:Bill Vaughan
“The labor of thinking was so great to me, that having once come to a conclusion upon any subject, I would rather persist in it, right or wrong, than be at the trouble of going over the process again to revise and rectify my judgment.” ThinkingProcessTroubleSubjectsJudgmentLaborConclusionPersistRectify Book:Works Source: Works
“I can say that the happiest period of my life has been since I emerged from the shadows and superstitions of the old theologies, relieved from all gloomy apprehensions of the future, satisfied that as my labors and capacities were limited to this sphere of action, I was responsible for nothing beyond my horizon, as I could neither understand nor change the condition of the unknown world. Giving ourselves, then, no trouble about the future, let us make the most of the present, and fill up our lives with earnest work here.” WorldGivingHas BeensI CanActionOur LivesTroubleAtheismConditionsPeriodsShadowCapacityLaborResponsiblePositive AtheismSatisfiedTheologyHorizonSpheresSuperstitionsEarnestApprehensionGloomyRelievedUnknown Worlds Author:Elizabeth Cady Stanton
“Labor came to humanity with the fall from grace and was at best a penitential sacrifice enabling purity through humiliation. Laborwas toil, distress, trouble, fatigue--an exertion both painful and compulsory. Labor was our animal condition, struggling to survive in dirt and darkness.” HumanityFallAnimalDarknessStruggleGraceTroubleSacrificeConditionsLaborPainfulPurityDirtDistressToilHumiliationFatigueEnablingExertionCompulsoryStruggling To SurviveFalls From Grace Author:Shoshana Zuboff
“All this care for the world, we must believe, is taken by the Gods without any act of will or labor. As bodies which possess some power produce their effects by merely existing: e.g. the sun gives light and heat by merely existing; so, and far more so, the providence of the Gods acts without effort to itself and for the good of the objects of its forethought. This solves the problems of the Epicureans , who argue that what is divine neither has trouble itself nor gives trouble to others.” WorldGivingBelieveProblemBodyLightCareEffortSunTakenTroubleEffectsObjectsProduceDivineLaborSolveArguingHeatProvidenceForethoughtEpicureanMerely Existing Author:Sallust

Moreover, this great inheritance has the additional advantage that it entails no labor, requires no management. The landlord has the trouble, but the landscape belongs to everyone who has eyes to see it.” IfsEyeEnjoyTroubleLandAdvantageLaborManagementPropertyLandscapeInheritanceLandlord Author:John Lubbock
“People misunderstand happiness. They think it's the absence of trouble. That's not happiness, that's luck. Happiness is the ability to live well alongside trouble. No two people have the same trouble, or the same way of metabolizing it. Q.E.D. - No two happy people are happy in the same way. . . . Every day brilliant people, people smarter than I, wallow in safe tragedy and pessimism, shying from what really takes guts - recognizing how much courage and labor happiness demands.” PeopleThinkingWayWellsTwoAbilityTroubleSafeDemandLaborTragedyLuckBrilliantAbsenceGutsPessimismSmarterRecognizingLive WellHappy People Book:Tolstoy Lied: A Love Story Source: Tolstoy Lied: A Love Story
