“We have come to see labor as something we do in
exchange for money and not as an expression of our
intrinsic nature. Many a white-collar man works hard
but lives in a world of soul-killing abstraction, where
what he does, what he feels and who he is have little to
do with one another.”

An excellent plumber is infinitely more
admirable than an incompetent philosopher.
The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because
plumbing is a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in
philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither
good plumbing nor good philosophy.
Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
