No man will work for your interests unless they are his.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of aligning individual interests with collective goals.

Girls blush, sometimes, because they are alive, half wishing they were dead to save the shame. The sudden blush devours them, neck and brow; They have drawn too near the fire of life, like gnats, and flare up bodily, wings and all. What then? Who's sorry for a gnat or girl?
