Labor raises honest sweat;
Leisure puts you into debt.

Labor gives you rye and wheat;
Leisure gives you naught to eat.

Labor makes your riches last;
Leisure gets you nowhere fast.

Labor makes you swell with pride;
Leisure makes you shrink inside.

Labor keeps you fit and prime;
But give me leisure every time.

    - Robert Bersohn (1890 - ?): "The Dignity of Labor"
