More From Adam Smith
Every Faculty In One Man Is The Measure By Which He Judges Of The Like Faculty In Another. I Judge Of Your Sight By My Sight, Of Your Ear By My Ear, Of Your Reason By My Reason, Of Your Resentment By My Resentment, Of Your Love By My Love. I Neither Have, Nor Can Have, Any Other Way Of Judging About Them.

The Necessaries Of Life Occasion The Great Expense Of The Poor. They Find It Difficult To Get Food, And The Greater Part Of Their Little Revenue Is Spent In Getting It. The Luxuries And Vanities Of Life Occasion The Principal Expense Of The Rich, And A Magnificent House Embellishes And Sets Off To The Best Advantage All The Other Luxuries And Vanities Which They Possess ... It Is Not Very Unreasonable That The Rich Should Contribute To The Public Expense, Not Only In Proportion To Their Revenue, But Something More Than In That Proportion.

It Is Not From The Benevolence Of The Butcher, The Brewer, Or The Baker, That We Expect Our Dinner, But From Regard To Their Own Interest. We Address Ourselves, Not To Their Humanity But To Their Self-love, And Never Talk To Them Of Our Own Necessities But Of Their Advantages. Nobody But A Beggar Chooses To Depend Chiefly Upon The Benevolence Of His Fellow Citizens.

Among Civilized And Thriving Nations, On The Contrary, Though A Great Number Of People Do No Labor At All, Many Of Whom Consume The Produce Of Ten Times, Frequently Of A Hundred Times More Labour Than The Greater Part Of Those Who Work; Yet The Produce Of The Whole Labour Of The Society Is So Great, That All Are Often Abundantly Supplied, And A Workman, Even Of The Lowest And Poorest Order, If He Is Frugal And Industrious, May Enjoy A Greater Share Of The Necessaries And Conveniencies Of Life Than It Is Possible For Any Savage To Acquire.
