Happy Labor Day everyone!

What have you been doing since the morning today, enjoying the backyard barbecue with your family and friends, watching the parade go by or just enjoying the extended weekend by relaxing at home?

Apart from being a federal holiday, that is observed on the first September every year that honors the contribution and achievement of the American workers, Labor Day also signifies the unofficial end of the summers.

Last year we did a round up of the top Labor Day apps to help you make your day perfect and this time we thought of compiling a list of some inspirational quotes to help you reflect on the role of labor in your own life.

Happy reading!

"All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence."

"All wealth is the product of labor."

"One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important."

"No labor, however humble, is dishonoring." 

"It is only through labor and painful effort, by grim energy and resolute courage, that we move on to better things."

"God sells us all things at the price of labor."

"Labor gives birth to ideas."

"My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition."

"Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life."
"Without labor nothing prospers."
"The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work." 

"The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary." 

"I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." 

"The man who rolls up his shirt sleeves is rarely in danger of losing his shirt."

"A man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them."

"Honest labor bears a lovely face."

"Work is no disgrace; the disgrace is idleness."

"Working hard and working smart sometimes can be two different things."

"Nothing will work unless you do."

"Many times a day I realize how much my own life is built upon the labors of my fellowmen, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received."

Had the men and women in 1882 not organized and participated in the first Labor Day parade, our working conditions today would have been entirely different.
