Monday, September 7th. William Shakespeare's Thought For Labor Day.






"We are but warriors for the working day."

Henry V, Act IV, Scene 3, Line 109.

This is probably the third time I have repeated this line in celebration of Labor Day. There are many similar, appropriate lines from Shakespeare, but nothing tops this one. Happy Labor Day, all you pro-labor liberals!

About Aristus

I truly believe that we will all live in peace and brotherhood someday. And so that I don't lose my faith in humanity, I will live my life as if that day had already happened.
