"People are still facing a huge burden that they have to lift. Each holds a lever in their hands to lift it. and behold, instead of pressing the lever with all their might to lift the burden, men throw away the lever, jump upon the burden, thus increasing its weight, and stand there clinging to it with their hands in an attempt to lift it.

""Oamenii tot stau în fața unei poveri uriașe pe care trebuie s-o ridice. Fiecare ține în mâini o pârghie pentru ridicarea ei. și iată, în loc să apese pe pârghie din toate puterile ca să ridice povara, oamenii aruncă pârghia, sar pe povară, sporindu-i astfel greutatea, și stând acolo se agață cu mâinile de ea încercând s-o ridice."
