Where people work longest and with least leisure, they buy the fewest goods. No towns were so poor as those of England where the people, from children up, worked fifteen and sixteen hours a day. They were poor because these overworked people soon wore out -- they became less and less valuable as workers. Therefore, they earned less and less and could buy less and less.

I see no advantage in these new clocks. They run no faster than the ones made 100 years ago.

There should be no unemployment. There is large percentage of labor now which cannot make a living because wages are not high enough. That is industry's 2nd job. 1st job is to make good product. 2nd pay a good wage.

When the leaves of the strongest tree fall, spring is here.

We now know that anything which is economically right is also morally right. There can be no conflict between good economics and good morals.

There is no man living that can not do more than he thinks he can.
