Quote by Henry Ward Beecher

Work is not a curse, but drudgery is!

Work is not a curse, but drudgery is!

Summary

This quote highlights the distinction between work and drudgery. It suggests that work itself is not inherently negative or burdensome, but rather it's the monotonous and tedious nature of drudgery that makes it feel like a curse. While work can be fulfilling and purposeful, drudgery refers to repetitive or uninteresting tasks that lack meaning or satisfaction. By acknowledging the difference, the quote encourages us to seek meaningful and engaging work that adds value to our lives, rather than resigning ourselves to mindless toil.

Global thinking and local action both require understanding

Global thinking and local action both require understanding of ecological systems, but ecological management can be effective only if it takes into consideration the visceral and spiritual values that link us to the earth. Therefore ecological thinking must be supplemented by humanistic value judgments concerning the effect of our choices and actions on the quality of the relationship between humankind and earth, in the future as well as in the present.http://www.bookrags.com/Ren%C3%A9_Dubos
