Captain John Smith

Detailed explanation-1: -Virginians know that Captain John Smith was vital to the survival of Jamestown in its early years. They can quote his order: “He that will not worke, shall not eate.” But few know that Smith’s adventures started years before Jamestown.
Detailed explanation-2: -By 1608, only 38 colonists survived due to the leadership of John Smith who arrived at the colony and created a “No work, No eat” policy.
Detailed explanation-3: -He who does not work, neither shall he eat is an aphorism from the New Testament traditionally attributed to Paul the Apostle, later cited by John Smith in the early 1600s colony of Jamestown, Virginia, and by the communist revolutionary Vladimir Lenin during the early 1900s Russian Revolution.
