He means that people work, but they gain nothing from it. They are essentially getting no reward from the effort they are putting in and the results are senseless and unimportant.

Thoreau means when he says the line “as for work, we haven’t any of any consequence” is all work that we do is trivial and meaningless. He also means that there is not any work of importance, it is all trivial and meaningless. Henry David Thoreau is an essayist, historian, surveyor, naturalist, tax resister, philosopher, and poet.

(link attached) What is meant by the last line of the text? How did the Maginot Line serve as an example of this saying? Support
NikAS [45]

Hello. You did not enter the line of text to which this question refers. However, when researching your question, I was able to find a question like yours and realized that the line of text you forgot to present was “Generals always fight the last war”.

Answer and Explanation:

The line “Generals always fight the last war” means the existence of a faith that successful attitudes in the past will be equally successful in the present, even though the present and the past are completely different realities. The Maginot line serves as an example for this sentence because it achieved its goal of protecting France from German invasion during the First World War. Because of this success, it was used again as a strategy in the second world war. However, the two wars were very different, as were the German strategies, which meant that the Maginot line was no longer able to provide any protection to France, which was invaded by Germany.
