Labor is one of the great elements of society-the great substantial interest on which we all stand. Not feudal service, or predial toil, or the irksome drudgery by one race of mankind subjected, on account of their color, to another; but labor, intelligent, manly, independent, thinking and acting for itself, earning its own wages, accumulating those wages into capital, educating childhood, maintaining worship, claiming the right of the elective franchise, and helping to uphold the great fabric of the state-that is American labor; and all my sympathies are with it, and my voice, till I am dumb, will be for it.
Daniel Webster

The labor and sweat of our brows is so far from being a curse, that without it our very bread would not be so great a blessing.

Bovee
Labor is the great producer of wealth; it moves all other causes.
Daniel Webster
Avoid idleness, and fill up all the spaces of thy time with severe and useful employment; for lust easily creeps in at those emptinesses where the soul is unemployed and the body is at ease; for no easy, healthful, idle person was ever chaste if he could be tempted; but of all employments, bodily labor is the most useful, and of the greatest benefit for driving away the Devil.
