More from Adam Smith
"Where there is a great deal of property, there is great inequality. For one very rich man, there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many."
"The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspirations."
"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."
"What can be added to the happiness of a man who is in health, out of debt, and has a clear conscience?"
"Nobody but a beggar chooses to depend chiefly upon the benevolence of his fellow-citizens."
