In General It May Be

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.

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.

The Power Of Population Is So Superior To The Power Of The Earth To Produce Subsistence For Man, That Premature Death Must In Some Shape Or Other Visit The Human Race.

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.

Man Cannot Live In The Midst Of Plenty.
