Pagina 183 - In proportion to the increase of Capital, the absolute share of the total product falling to the capitalist is augmented, and his relative share is diminished ; while, on the contrary, the labourer's share is increased both absolutely and relatively.
Pagina 26 - This sublime reason, far above the range of the common herd, is that whose decisions the legislator puts into the mouth of the immortals, in order to constrain by divine authority those whom human prudence could not move. But it is not anybody who can make the gods speak, or get himself believed when he proclaims himself their interpreter.
Pagina 224 - In agriculture, too, Nature labours along with man ; and though her labour costs no expense, its produce has its value, as well as that of the most expensive workmen.
