"A noble heart, will disdain to
subsist, like a drone,
upon others' labours;
like a vermin to filch
its food out of
the public granary;
or, like a shark,
to prey upon the lesser fry;
but it will rather outdo his
private obligations to
other men's care and toil,
by considerable service and
beneficence to the public;
for there is no
calling of any sort,
from the sceptre to the spade,
the management whereof,
with any good success,
any credit, any satisfaction,
doth not
demand much work of
the head, or of the hands,
or of both." ~Barrow
