"It is my duty as the leader of the young people of this country to encourage them to work and to exert themselves in order to raise their own standards and to be of service to the country. The individual who is healthy and of a sound mind and body but who does not work commits a crime against himself and society.”

Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, ​the founder of the United Arab Emirates.
