The Real And Effectual Discipline Which Is

Every Tax Ought To Be So Contrived As Both To Take Out And To Keep Out Of The Pockets Of The People As Little As Possible, Over And Above What It Brings Into The Public Treasury Of The State.

With The Greater Part Of Rich People, The Chief Enjoyment Of Riches Consists In The Parade Of Riches.

No Society Can Surely Be Flourishing And Happy, Of Which The Far Greater Part Of The Members Are Poor And Miserable.

The Discipline Of Colleges And Universities Is In General Contrived, Not For The Benefit Of The Students, But For The Interest, Or More Properly Speaking, For The Ease Of The Masters. Its Object Is, In All Cases, To Maintain The Authority Of The Master, And Whether He Neglects Or Performs His Duty, To Oblige The Students In All Cases To Behave Toward Him As If He Performed It With The Greatest Diligence And Ability.

Masters Are Always And Everywhere In A Sort Of Tacit, But Constant And Uniform Combination, Not To Raise The Wages Of Labor.
