الوظيفة في تاريخ مصر مؤسسة مقدسة كالمعبد، والموظف المصري أقدم موظف في تاريخ الحضارة. إن يكن المثل الأعلى في البلدان الأخرى محارباً أو سياسياً أو تاجراً أو رجل صناعة أو بحاراً فهو في مصر الموظف. وإن أول تعاليم أخلاقية حفظها التاريخ كانت وصايا من أب موظف متقاعد إلى ابن موظف ناشئ. وفرعون نفسه لم يكن إلا موظفاً معيناً من قبل الآلهة في السماء ليحكم الوادي من خلال طقوس دينية وتعاليم إدارية ومالية وتنظيمية. ووادينا وادي فلاحين طيبين يحنون الهامات نحو أرض طيبة ولكن رؤوسهم ترتفع لدى انتظامهم في سلك الوظائف، حينذاك يتطلعون إلى فوق، إلى سلم الدرجات المتصاعد حتى أعتاب الآلهة في السماء. الوظيفة خدمة للناس وحق للكفاءة وواجب للضمير الحي وكبرياء للذات البشرية وعبادة الله خالق الكفاءة والضمير والكبرياء. ↗

According to Maria, he had the impudence to criticise Mr Bennet for his treatment of you. I must say it gives me the most favourable idea of his character. ↗
