188. Arbeit. - Wie nah steht jetzt auch dem Müssigsten von uns die Arbeit und der Arbeiter! Die königliche Höflichkeit in dem Worte „wir Alle sind Arbeiter!“ wäre noch unter Ludwig dem Vierzehnten ein Cynismus und eine Indecenz gewesen.

188. Work. How close work and the worker now stand even to the idlest among us! The royal courtesy contained in the words “we are all workers!” would still have been cynicism and indecency under Louis XIV.

188. Travail. Comme le travail et le travailleur sont aujourd’hui proches même du plus oisif d’entre nous ! La courtoisie royale contenue dans les mots « nous sommes tous des travailleurs ! » aurait encore été, sous Louis XIV, un cynisme et une indécence.
