"The problem to the poor is one of necessity: to earn wherewithal to live, they must find remunerative labor. But the problem to the rich is one of honour: having the wherewithal, they must find serviceable labor. Each has to earn his daily bread: the one, because he has not yet got it to eat; the other, who has already eaten it, because he has not yet earned it."
--Robert Louis Stevenson, The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson: Miscellanies, Volume 4, p. 368
