It is remarkable that there is little or nothing to be remembered written on the subject of getting a living; how to make getting a living not merely honest and honorable, but altogether inviting and glorious; for if getting a living
is not so, then living is not. One would think, from looking at literature, that this question had never disturbed a
solitary individual's musings. Is it that men are too much disgusted with their experience to speak of it? The
lesson of value which money teaches, which the Author of the Universe has taken so much pains to teach us,
we are inclined to skip altogether. As for the means of living, it is wonderful how indifferent men of all classes
are about it, even reformers, so called—whether they inherit, or earn, or steal it. I think that Society has done
nothing for us in this respect, or at least has undone what she has done. Cold and hunger seem more friendly
to my nature than those methods which men have adopted and advise to ward them off. (13)
