About This Quote
"You have to sweat--that's the only moral they know" is a common saying used by people who think that happiness is a feeling you get from getting something for free. This quote makes the assumption that if you have easy access to something, then you will be happy. The saying has been so widely accepted that it has been used in the movie "Office Space," where one of the characters states "They're not happy when they get something too easily. You have to sweat--that's the only moral they know." In reality, just because you have access to something doesn't mean that you will be happy. In fact, studies have shown that people are happier when they work for a good cause and make a large amount of money than when they make a lot of money for a good cause.
