Quote #12 on Economic Struggle Quotes >> Class Warfare and Human Happiness
“...the necessaries of life, since life, or the power of laboring, could not long be maintained in an individual deprived of every pleasure. He struggles, therefore, with all his strength, to get his wages increased; the manufacturer and merchant, in like manner, to get their profits increased.”
