But now, in order that my leisure might not degenerate into idleness and aimlessness, I must set up a claim for due work to do. BUT NOW IN ORDER THAT MY LEISURE MIGHT NOT DEGENERATE INTO IDLENESS AND AIMLESSNESS I MUST SET UP A CLAIM FOR DUE WORK TO DO
 should in no case do any harm to any one with it, so I should often do some direct good to the community with it, by practising arts or occupations for my hands or brain which would give pleasure to many of the citizens; in other words, a great deal of the best work done would be done in the leisure time of men relieved from any anxiety as to their livelihood, and eager to exercise their special talent, as all men, nay, all animals are. Now, again, this leisure would enable me to please myself and expand my mind by travelling if I had a mind to it: because, say, for instance, that I were a shoemaker; if due social order were established, it by no means follows that I should always be obliged to make shoes in one place; a due amount of easily conceivable arrangement would enable me to make shoes in Rome, say, for three months, and to come back with new ideas of building, gathered from the sight of the works of past ages, amongst other things which would perhaps be of service in London. S TO THAT LEISURE AS I SHOULD IN NO CASE DO ANY HARM TO ANY ONE WITH IT SO I SHOULD OFTEN DO SOME DIRECT GOOD TO THE COMMUNITY WITH IT BY PRACTISING ARTS OR OCCUPATIONS FOR MY HANDS OR BRAIN WHICH WOULD GIVE PLEASURE TO MANY OF THE CITIZENS IN OTHER WORDS A GREAT DEAL OF THE BEST WORK DONE WOULD BE DONE IN THE LEISURE TIME OF MEN RELIEVED FROM ANY ANXIETY AS TO THEIR LIVELIHOOD AND EAGER TO EXERCISE THEIR SPECIAL TALENT AS ALL MEN NAY ALL ANIMALS ARE NOW AGAIN THIS LEISURE WOULD ENABLE ME TO PLEASE MYSELF AND EXPAND MY MIND BY TRAVELLING IF I HAD A MIND TO IT BECAUSE SAVE FOR INSTANCE THAT I WERE A SHOEMAKER IF DUE SOCIAL ORDER WERE ESTABLISHED IT BY NO MEANS FOLLOWS THAT I SHOULD ALWAYS BE OBLIGED TO MAKE SHOES IN ONE PLACE A DUE AMOUNT OF EASILY CONCEIVABLE ARRANGEMENT WOULD ENABLE ME TO MAKE SHOES IN ROME SAVE FOR THREE MONTHS AND TO COME BACK WITH NEW IDEAS OF BUILDING GATHERED FROM THE SIGHT OF THE WORKS OF PAST AGES AMONGST OTHER THINGS WHICH WOULD PERHAPS BE OF SERVICE IN LONDON
