‘No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.’

Wonderful discussion with a colleague about whilst this quote was related to the the requirements of ‘educated’ people to do manual work (particularly agriculture) I feel too many people claim to be educated, and therefore seemingly excused laborious work, than are actually meaningfully educated…

Although there are plenty of ill-educated idlers hanging around as well.
