I Think It Will Be Found That

The Natural Inequality Of The Two Powers Of Population And Of Production In The Earth, And That Great Law Of Our Nature Which Must Constantly Keep Their Efforts Equal, Form The Great Difficulty That To Me Appears Insurmountable In The Way To The Perfectibility Of Society.

On The Whole It May Be Observed, That The Specific Use Of A Body Of Unproductive Consumers, Is To Give Encouragement To Wealth By Maintaining Such A Balance Between Produce And Consumption As Will Give The Greatest Exchangeable Value To The Results Of The National Industry.

It Is Not The Most Pleasant Employment To Spend Eight Hours A Day In A Counting House.

The Constant Effort Towards Population, Which Is Found Even In The Most Vicious Societies, Increases The Number Of People Before The Means Of Subsistence Are Increased.

It Has Appeared That From The Inevitable Laws Of Our Nature, Some Human Beings Must Suffer From Want. These Are The Unhappy Persons Who, In The Great Lottery Of Life, Have Drawn A Blank.
