Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends
there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not
doing.

Personally, I have nothing against work, particularly when performed, quietly and unobtrusively, by someone else. I just
don't happen to think it's an appropriate subject for an "ethic."

Do they know that this is "Amherst"—
And that I—am coming—too—

What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it. Who was it who
said, "Blessed is the man who has found his work"? Whoever it was he had the right idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his
work--not somebody else's work. The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all. Cursed is the man who
has found some other man's work and cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the
great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never can hope to do
anything great. How can they when their souls are in a ferment of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains?
The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great.

The heights by great men reached and kept / Were not attained by sudden flight, / But they, while their companions slept, /
Were toiling upward in the night.

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could
have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and
blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while
daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
