Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 10/1 How many, many of our businessmen and working people are mere “working machines”? They think of nothing, they know nothing, from Monday morning till Sunday night, the year round, but work. They cannot conceive of anything to be worthy or beautiful or good, that is not connected with business. And men who till the soil or work in shops labored till they come to think that this is what life is – work! The drudge day after day, supposing they are fulfilling the destiny of intelligent creatures, when their intelligence is all the time dying out of them. No person can work unremittingly, whether he works from choice or necessity, without suffering ill health. There must be Relaxation for the body and a change of occupation for the mind! Dr. Harriet Austin, 1868. -- Version: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.12.8/455 - Release 9/22/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
