“You can’t tell the character of an individual by the way he
does his daily work. Watch him when his work is over. See where he goes. Note
the companions he seeks and the things he does when he may do as he please.
Then you can tell his true character.
“Let us take the eagle, for
example. This bird works as hard and as efficiently as any other animal in
doing its daily work. It provides for itself and its young by the sweat of its
brow, so to speak; but when its daily work is over and the eagle has time of
its own to do just as it pleases, note how it spends its recreational moments.
It flies in the highest realms of heaven, spreads its wings, and bathes in the
upper air, for it loves the pure, clean atmosphere, and the lofty heights.
“On the other hand, let us
consider the hog. This animal…provides for its young just as well as the eagle;
but, when its working hours are over and it has its recreational moments,
observe where it goes and what it does. The hog will seek out the muddiest hole
in the pasture and will roll and soak itself in filth, for this is the thing it
loves. People are either hogs or eagles in their leisure time."
