“Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position
of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter;
second, telling other people to do so. The first kind is unpleasant and ill
paid; the second is pleasant and highly paid. The second kind is capable of
indefinite extension: there are not only those who give orders, but those who
give advice as to what orders should be given.”—British logician, philosopher
and Nobel Literature laureate Lord Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), “In Praise of Idleness” (1932)
