Men will work hard for money. they will work harder for other men. but men will work hardest of all when they are dedicated to a cause. until willingness overflows obligation, men fight as conscripts rather than following the flag as patriots. duty is never worthily performed until it is performed by one who would gladly do more if only he could.

Men Will Work Hard For Money. They

More From Harry Emerson Fosdick

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
Welcome to fight club. the first rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club. the second rule of fight club is: you do not talk about fight club! third rule of fight club: if someone yells “stop!”, goes limp, or taps out, the fight is over. fourth rule: only two guys to a fight. fifth rule: one fight at a time, fellas. sixth rule: the fights are bare knuckle. no shirt, no shoes, no weapons. seventh rule: fights will go on as long as they have to. and the eighth and final rule: if this is your first time at fight club, you have to fight.

Life is a magic vase filled to the brim, so made that you cannot dip from it nor draw from it; but it overflows into the hand that drops treasures into it. drop in malice and it overflows hate; drop in charity and it overflows love.
Life Hate Hands
The money men make from their willingness to work the least desirable hours is not a sign of discrimination against women, but a sign of the willingness of mostly married men to lose sleep to support the family as their wife loses sleep to feed the child. a willingness to do the uncomfortable shifts is one reason married men earn more than twice what never-married men earn. men's contribution, made at night, need not be lost in the dark.
Children Sleep Dark
I could fight with the living but i could not fight the dead. if there was some woman in london that maxim loved, someone he wrote to, visited, dined with, slept with, i could fight her. we would stand on common ground. i should not be afraid. anger and jealousy were things that could be conquered. one day the woman would grow old or tired or different, and maxim would not love her anymore. but rebecca would never grow old. rebecca would always be the same. and she and i could not fight. she was to strong for me.
Strong Tired Fighting
Let us remember with devotion that the flag we love and honor is the flag of freedom that flew in victory at yorktown, the flag the united states marines raised on mount suribachi, the flag francis scott key saw by the dawn's early light. long may it wave.
