"Most people, even in this comparatively free country, are, through sheer ignorance and error, so occupied with the supposed cares and unnecessary, rough labors of life that they cannot enjoy its nobler fruits. Their hands are so rough from overwork and tremble that they cannot take them off.

Most people, even in this comparatively free country, are, through sheer ignorance and error, so occupied with the supposed cares and unnecessary, rough labors of life that they cannot enjoy its nobler fruits. Their hands are so rough from overwork and tremble that they cannot take them off.
""A legtöbb ember még ebben a viszonylag szabad országban is, merő tudatlanságból és tévelygésből úgy el van foglalva az élet vélt gondjaival és fölösleges, durva munkáival, hogy nem tudja élvezni nemesebb gyümölcseit. Kezük a túlzásba vitt munkától annyira eldurvult, és úgy remeg, hogy nem is tudnák leszedni."
