Excerpt from The Springs of Business Activity
Nor am I sure that Utopia would make us any happier. It might take away some of the misery of life, but it would rob it of its color. Eliminate effort and you drain the spring of life. It is not attain ment so much as the striving for it that lends zest to our existence. Work is not a curse, but a blessing, as those know only too well who are deprived of it thru sickness or accident. For most of us the busi ness of living is an all-absorbing occupation.
