Labor was the first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labor, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased. – Adam Smith
Without labor nothing prospers. – Sophocles
All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence. – Martin Luther King
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you. – Saint Augustine
What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us. – Julia Cameron

- Also, Crystal @ Money Saving Mom has a regular feature on her blog called We Paid Cash. Last week she included a post by me: We Paid Cash: Our Daughter’s First Two Years of College. I encourage you to check it out, not so much for my post, but for the comments. There was a really great discussion that followed. Lots of different ideas and opinions. Also, if you’ve never been to Crystal’s blog before, it’s a great resource of money-saving ideas and inspiration. Thanks, Crystal!
Have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend, everyone!
