The World Neither Ever Saw, Nor Ever

Civil Government, So Far As It Is Instituted For The Security Of Property, Is In Reality Instituted For The Defense Of The Rich Against The Poor, Or Of Those Who Have Some Property Against Those Who Have None At All.

We Are But One Of The Multitude, In No Respect Better Than Any Other In It.

The Violence And Injustice Of The Rulers Of Mankind Is An Ancient Evil, For Which, I Am Afraid, The Nature Of Human Affairs Can Scarce Admit A Remedy.

We Are Delighted To Find A Person Who Values Us As We Value Ourselves, And Distinguishes Us From The Rest Of Mankind, With An Attention Not Unlike That With Which We Distinguish Ourselves.

But Avarice And Ambition In The Rich, In The Poor The Hatred Of Labour And The Love Of Present Ease And Enjoyment, Are The Passions Which Prompt To Invade Property, Passions Much More Steady In Their Operation, And Much More Universal In Their Influence. Wherever There Is Great 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.
