We seldom call anybody lazy, but such as we reckon inferior to us, and of whom we expect some service.

Bernard Mandeville

Bernard Mandeville

There is no intrinsic worth in money but what is alterable with the times, and whether a guinea goes for twenty pounds or for a shilling, it is the labor of the poor and not the high and low value that is set on gold or silver, which all the comforts of life must arise from.

Bernard Mandeville
