Rudyard Kipling
And no one shall work for money, and no one shall work for fame, But each for the joy of the working, and each, in his separate star, Shall draw the Thing as he sees It for the God of Things as They are!
Rudyard Kipling
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins, when all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins.
Rudyard Kipling
