Moral Life

The first principle is life; the second, maintenance of life. The thing of greatest human interest and importance, therefore, is the production and distribution of food, the manufacture of necessities; Or what we call Business. Religion, education, art, politics, are all secondary to it, since we live because of our work; and without life we should need neither salvation, learning, homes, literature, nor any-thing else.
