Excerpt from The Romance of Commerce
"Five great intellectual professions have hitherto existed in every civilized nation:
The Soldiers to defend it.
The Merchants to provide for it.
The Pastors to teach it.
The Physicians to keep it in health.
The Lawyers to enforce justice in it.
And the duty of all of these is, on due occasion, to die for it."
John Ruskin
