Summary

This quote emphasizes that worry is often more harmful than actual work. The reason for this is that worry is a common emotional response that many people experience, whereas the act of working requires effort and dedication. Since worry can consume individuals mentally and physically, it can negatively affect their overall well-being. In contrast, work can bring fulfillment and productivity, leading to positive outcomes. Ultimately, the quote suggests that the prevalence of worry and its destructive power make it a greater threat to people's health and happiness compared to the act of working.

At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question.

This was a country of hope and of promise for immigrants and their children, and as many as a million immigrants a year came in 1906 and '07 and '08.
