“If one looks closely one sees that there is no essential difference between a beggar's livelihood and that of numberless respectable people. Beggars do not work, it is said; but then, what is work? A navvy works by swinging a pick. An accountant works by adding up figures. A beggar works by standing out of doors in all weathers and getting varicose veins, chronic bronchitis, etc. It is a trade like any other; quite useless, of course - but then, many reputable trades are quite useless.” PeopleIfsLooksSaidCoursesDifferencesDoorsFiguresEssentialsPicksStandingTradeWeatherUselessEtcWorking ItStanding OutVeinsRespectableBeggarLivelihoodAccountantsBronchitis Author:George Orwell

“What is patriotism but love of the good things we ate in our childhood? I have said elsewhere that the loyalty to Uncle Sam is the loyalty to doughnuts and ham and sweet potatoes and the loyalty to the German Vaterland is the loyalty to Pfannkuchen and Christmas Stollen. As for international understanding, I feel that macaroni has done more for our appreciation of Italy than Mussolini... in food, as in death, we feel the essential brotherhood of mankind.” FeelsSaidDoneUnderstandingChildhoodMankindSweetEssentialsOur ChildrenGood ThingsInternationalAppreciationLoyaltyBrotherhoodElsewhereUnclesPotatoesHamDoughnutMacaroniUncle SamSweet Potatoes Book:Lin Yutang - The Importance Of Living Source: Lin Yutang - The Importance Of Living
