A quote that I like to read when in moods like the author:
“A man perfects himself by working. Foul jungles are cleared away, fair seed-fields rise instead, and stately cities; and with the man himself first ceases to be a jungle, and foul unwholesome desert thereby. The man is now a man.”
– Thomas Carlyle
- CapstanRoller 3y agoTurns out those "foul jungles" are necessary for a healthy planetary biosphere. So much for manhood!
- NPC82 3y agoWell I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic but a gospel to work isn't really a compelling ethos in context of the article. I think the fact that your quote is abridged, directed at possibly the wrong gender, and disparaging jungles as "foul places" instead of last vestiges of biodiversity shows you may need to find something more applicable and up to date.
