English Cleric, Scholar and Influential Economist in the Fields of Political Economy and Demography
: An English cleric, scholar and influential economist in the fields of political economy and demography. In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus observed that an increase in a nation's food production improved the well-being of the population, but the improvement was temporary because it led to population growth, which in turn restored the original per capita production level. (From: Wikipedia.org.)

Quote #13 on Religious Struggle Quotes >> Religious Belief and Damnation
“...it is perfectly impossible to conceive that any of these creatures of God's hand can be condemned to eternal suffering. Could we once admit such an idea, it our natural conceptions of goodness and justice would be completely overthrown, and we could no longer look up to God as a merciful and righteous Being.”
