Сторінка 541 - The liberal reward of labour, as it encourages the propagation, so it increases the industry of the common people. The wages of labour are the encouragement of industry, which, like every other human quality, improves in proportion to the encouragement it receives.

Сторінка ii - Time, which is the centre of the chief difficulty of almost every economic problem, is itself continuous : Nature knows no absolute partition of time into long periods and short ; but the two shade into one another by imperceptible gradations, and what is a short period for one problem, is a long period for another.
Сторінка 320 - The mysteries of the trade become no mysteries; but are as it were in the air, and children learn many of them unconsciously.
