Young Kier walked the seven miles to and from the job each day, and he characterized Willit as a sadistic employer who routinely beat the workers with the leg of a dresser. This introduction into the workforce made a lasting impression on Kier and was often romanticized in his later writings about "the heart of the workplace."((//[[Compliance Handbook]]//)) Despite his health vulnerabilities, Kier exhibited a strong work ethic at an early age.

 >I know that death is near upon me, because people have begun to ask what I see as my life’s great achievement. They wish to know how they should remember me as I rot. In my life, I have identified four components, which I call tempers, from which are derived every human soul. Woe. Frolic. Dread. Malice. Each man’s character is defined by the precise ratio that resides in him. I walked into the cave of my own mind, and there I tamed them. Should you tame the tempers as I did mine, then the world shall become but your appendage. It is this great and consecrated power that I hope to pass on to all of you, my children. >I know that death is near upon me, because people have begun to ask what I see as my life’s great achievement.
