recognizes the division of labor, will lead people to bliss. The
result is, that some people make use of the labor of others; but
that, if they shall make use of the labor of others for a very long
period of time, and in still larger measure, then this wrongful
distribution of wealth, i.e., the use of the labor of others, will
come to an end.

Men stand beside a constantly swelling spring of water, and are
occupied with the problem of diverting it to one side, away from the
thirsty people, and they assert that they are producing this water,
and that soon enough will be collected for all. But this water
which has flowed, and which still flows unceasingly, and nourishes
all mankind, not only is not the result of the activity of the men
who, standing at its source, turn it aside, but this water flows and
gushes out, in spite of the efforts of these men to obstruct its
flow.

There have always existed a true science, and a true art; but true
science and art are not such because they called themselves by that
name. It always seems to those who claim at any given period to be
the representatives of science and art, that they have performed,
and are performing, and--most of all--that they will presently
perform, the most amazing marvels, and that beside them there never
has been and there is not any science or any art. Thus it seemed to
the sophists, the scholastics, the alchemists, the cabalists, the
talmudists; and thus it seems to our own scientific science, and to
our art for the sake of art.
