Strana 159 - Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.
Strana 207 - Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production; and the interest of the producer ought to be attended to only so far as it may be necessary for promoting that of the consumer.
Strana 44 - All the improvements in machinery, however, have by no means been the inventions of those who had occasion to use the machines.

It proposes to enrich both the people and the Sovereign.
Strana 11 - The things which have the greatest value in use have frequently little or no value in exchange; and on the contrary, those which have the greatest value in exchange have frequently little or no value in use. Nothing is more useful than water: but it will purchase scarce anything; scarce anything can be had in exchange for it.
Strana 240 - If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal thin'gs...
