Guiliver's Travels Quotes

“as for himself, being not of an enterprising spirit, he was content to go on in the old forms, to live in the
houses his ancestors had built, and act as they did, in every part of life, without innovation: that
some few other persons of quality and gentry had done the same, but were looked on with an
eye of contempt and ill-will, as enemies to art, ignorant, and ill common-wealth's men, preferring
their own ease and sloth before the general improvement of their country.”
― Jonathan Swift, Guiliver's Travels
