Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice;
For toil comes rest, for exile, home;
Soon shalt thou hear the bridegroom's voice,
The midnight peal: "Behold, I come."
--
P. 125.Horatius Bonar

The labor of keeping house is labor in its most naked state, for labor is toil that never finishes, toil that has to be begun again the moment it is completed, toil that is destroyed and consumed by the life process.
Mary McCarthy
Peace and rest at length have come
All the day's long toil is past,
And each heart is whispering, "Home,
Home at last."Thomas Hood
When with all thy heart thou strivest to live with truth and love, couldst thou do anything better? ... If this be thy life, thou shalt not deem it a misfortune to lack the things men most crave and toil for.
John Lancaster Spalding
Ye are born, all of you, to a royal birthright. Scorn not the poor, thou wealthy — his toil is nobler than thy luxury. Fret not at the rich, thou poor — his beneficence is comelier than thy murmuring. Join hands, both of you, rich and poor together, as ye toil in the brotherhood of God's great harvest-field — heirs of a double heritage — thou poor, of thy kingly labor — thou rich, of thy queenly charity — and let heaven bear witness to the bridal.
William Morley Punshon
The united vote of those who toil and have not will vanquish those who have and toil not, and solve forever the problems of democracy.
