"When you think of the amount of turnover and profit made by most companies in this country - and especially the big chains, it's a shame that they pay their employees minimum wage and no more than that. What that really says is: 'We're paying you minimum wage, because we're not allowed to pay you any less."

"Everyone should get dirt on his hands each day. Doctors, intellectuals. Politicians, most of all. How can we presume to uplift the life of the working man, if we don't respect his work?"

"Jobs are a part of life. Maybe you've heard of the concept. It's called work? See, what happens is that you suffer through doing annoying and humiliating things until you get paid not enough money. Like those Japanese game shows, only without all the glory."

"Individual and national rights to wealth rest on the basis of civil and international law, or at least of custom that has the force of law."
Wealth
"All labour is directed towards producing some effect."
Labor
"Producer's Surplus is a convenient name for the genus of which the rent of land is the leading species."
Land
"Capital is that part of wealth which is devoted to obtaining further wealth."
Wealth
"The hope that poverty and ignorance may gradually be extinguished, derives indeed much support from the steady progress of the working classes during the nineteenth century."
Progress
"All wealth consists of desirable things; that is, things which satisfy human wants directly or indirectly: but not all desirable things are reckoned as wealth."
Wealth
"The price of every thing rises and falls from time to time and place to place; and with every such change the purchasing power of money changes so far as that thing goes."
Change
"It is common to distinguish necessaries, comforts, and luxuries; the first class including all things required to meet wants which must be satisfied, while the latter consist of things that meet wants of a less urgent character."
Character
"But if inventions have increased man's power over nature very much, then the real value of money is better measured for some purposes in labour than in commodities."
Money
"In the absence of any short term in common use to represent all desirable things, or things that satisfy human wants, we may use the term Goods for that purpose."
