"Out of the sweatshop, into the inferno."
Here's one of the best: " Look at a stone cutter hammering away at his rock, perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred-and-first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not the last blow that did it, but all that had gone before."--Jacob Riis
