"We are always in these days endeavouring to separate the two [manual labour and intellect]; we want one man to always be thinking, and another to always be working, and we call one a gentleman, and the other an operative; whereas the workman ought often to be thinking, and the thinker often to be working, and both should be genetlemen in the best sense. As it is, we make both ungentle, the one envying, the other despising, his brother; and the mass of society is made up of morbid thinkers, and miserable workers."
John Ruskin.
