Making a Livelihood

You can persecute and browbeat a man, you can bully him and do him physical injury, you can refuse him a share in the government and put him in an inferior social position, and he will continue to endure it. But rob him of the chance of making a livelihood, and he will commence to conspire against the government.

Herbert Adams Gibbons, The New Map of Europe 1911-14, the Century Co., (1918)
