These quotes by Steele don’t necessarily imply agreement or endorsement (I just felt like gathering up things related to jobs, employment, callings, and the like):
“That every one who is capable of it should be constantly employed in some useful station of life, appears a truth so evident that little need be said to support it. Few indeed are so worthless as to be always idle, but that we busy ourselves only now and then, as humour and fancy incline us, can never be sufficient to answer the end of our creation ; for this it is necessary we should exert ourselves in some business that may fully employ our time; and that it should be our own proper business; for divine wisdom censures those as disorderly livers who either work not at all, or are busy bodies, trifling intermeddlers in the affairs of others, to the neglect of their own; and requires that they study to be quiet, and to do their own business” (Richard Steele, The Religious Tradesman).
