19. “The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspirations
“The real tragedy of the poor is the poverty of their aspirations.” “No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable.” “Society does not consist of individuals, but expressed the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand.” “Man is an animal that makes bargains; no other animal does this – no dog exchanges bones with another.” “The more the division of labor and the application of machinery extend, the more does competition extend among the workers, the more do their wages shrink together.”
