May we each understand the need, and strive to be, an intelligent toiler…
“An infallible test of civilization is that a man claiming to be civilized should be an intelligent toiler, that he should understand the dignity of labor, and that his work should be such as to advance the interests of the community to which he belongs.” ~~ Mahatma Gandhi (or Mohandas K. Gandhi)
