Toil
Bodily labor alleviates the pain of the mind; whence arises the happiness of the poor.
La Rochefoucauld.
Toil and pleasure, in their natures opposite, are yet linked together in a kind of necessary connection.
Livy.
He chooses best, whose labor entertainsHis vacant fancy most; the toil you hateFatigues you soon, and scarce improves your limbs.
Armstrong.
Toil to some is happiness, and rest to others. This man can only breathe in crowds, and that man only in solitudes.
Bulwer-Lytton.
Toil, and be strong; by toil the flaccid nervesGrow firm, and gain a more compacted tone:The greener juices are by toil subdued,Mellow’d, and subtilis’d; the vapid oldExpell’d, and all the rancor of the blood.
Armstrong.
The body***Much toil demands; the lean elastic less.While winter chills the blood and binds the veins,No labors are too hard; by those you ’scapeThe slow diseases of the torpid year,Endless to name.
Armstrong.
