“Government was founded on the working premiss of being primarily an asylum for ineptitude and indigence.”

“Jeremy Bentham argued that 'even in the best of times the great mass of citizens will most probably possess few resources other than their daily labour and, consequently, be always near indigence'. As long as working man was near indigence, hunger would remain an effective tool to goad him to labour. Bentham argued that an important task of government was to ensure conditions of deprivation, thereby guaranteeing that hunger would [be a constant motivation to work].”

“There is no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.”

“INEPTITUDE!”

“Because I'm a man who works, who knows what a human being is like inside, who knows that every human being has his worth, and who wants the world to be governed by work and not by opinions about work.”

“Do not primarily train men to work. Train them to serve willingly and intelligently.”
