The best expression of it, I have found in the Bible. It is in substance, "Righteousness exalteth a nation - sin is a reproach to any people."

Life is, in fact, a battle.

What a country wants to make it richer is never consumption, but production. Where there is the latter, we may be sure that there is no want of the former.

Therefore, if the producers generally produce and sell more and more, they certainly also buy more and more.
