More from Adam Smith
"The property of a master in the service of his servants is not a thing that is found in any of the fundamental laws of nature."
"The property which every man has in his own labour, as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable."
"The rich, by consuming the produce of the labour of the poor, in fact, employ them, and give them a maintenance."
"The natural price of labour is that price which is necessary to enable the labourers, one with another, to subsist and to perpetuate their race, without either increase or diminution."
"The government of an exclusive company of merchants is, perhaps, the worst of all governments for any country whatever."
