 I will take you about to places that you wish to go to; and I will see that you have plenty of tobacco and all other things practicable that you may desire--provided that you work well. The more work you do, and the better work you do, the better I shall look after you. You write--that is all I want you to do." "But," I say to Society, "I don't like work; I don't want to work. Why should I be a slave and work?" "All right," answers Society, "don't work. I'm not forcing you. All I say is, that if you don't work for me, I shall not work for you.

The man who merely works by his muscles she regards as very little superior to the horse or the ox, and provides for him just a little better. But the moment he begins to use his head, and from the labourer rises to the artisan, she begins to raise his wages.
