Text Quotes
The most baleful mischiefs may be expected from the unmanly conduct of not daring to face truth because it is unpleasing (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
The first business of philosophy is to account for things as they are; and till our theories will do this, they ought not to be the ground of any practical conclusion (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
But, fortunately for mankind, the neat rents of the land, under a system of private property, can never be diminished by the progress of cultivation (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
If a country can only be rich by running a successful race for low wages, I should be disposed to say at once, perish such riches! (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
It has appeared that from the inevitable laws of our nature, some human beings must suffer from want. These are the unhappy persons who, in the great lottery of life, have drawn a blank (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
I do not know that any writer has supposed that on this Earth man will ultimately be able to live without food (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
A great emigration necessarily implies unhappiness of some kind or other in the country that is deserted (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
A writer may tell me that he thinks man will ultimately become an ostrich. I cannot properly contradict him (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
Each pursues his own theory, little solicitous to correct or improve it by an attention to what is advanced by his opponents (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
I think it will be found that experience, the true source and foundation of all knowledge, invariably confirms its truth (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
It is an acknowledged truth in philosophy that a just theory will always be confirmed by experiment (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio. A slight acquaintance with numbers will shew the immensity of the first power in comparison of the second (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
The constant effort towards population, which is found even in the most vicious societies, increases the number of people before the means of subsistence are increased (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
The great and unlooked for discoveries that have taken place of late years have all concurred to lead many men into the opinion that we were touching on a period big with the most important changes (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
The doctrine of population has been conspicuously absent, not because I doubt in the least its truth and vast importance, but because it forms no part of the direct problem of economics (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
It is not the most pleasant employment to spend eight hours a day in a counting house (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
The passion between the sexes has appeared in every age to be so nearly the same, that it may always be considered, in algebraic language as a given quantity (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
The prodigious waste of human life occasioned by this perpetual struggle for room and food, was more than supplied by the mighty power of population, acting, in some degree, unshackled, from the constant habit of emigration (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
In a state therefore of great equality and virtue, where pure and simple manners prevailed, the increase of the human species would evidently be much greater than any increase that has been hitherto known (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
Where there are few people, and a great quantity of fertile land, the power of the earth to afford a yearly increase of food may be compared to a great reservoir of water, supplied by a moderate stream. The faster population increases, the more help will be got to draw off the water, and consequently an increasing quantity will be taken every year. But the sooner, undoubtedly, will the reservoir be exhausted, and the streams only remain (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
The power of population is so superior to the power of the earth to produce subsistence for man, that premature death must in some shape or other visit the human race (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
The exertions that men find it necessary to make, in order to support themselves or families, frequently awaken faculties that might otherwise have lain for ever dormant, and it has been commonly remarked that new and extraordinary situations generally create minds adequate to grapple with the difficulties in which they are involved (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
It does not, however, seem impossible that by an attention to breed, a certain degree of improvement, similar to that among animals, might take place among men. Whether intellect could be communicated may be a matter of doubt: but size, strength, beauty, complexion, and perhaps even longevity are in a degree transmissible... As the human race could not be improved in this way, without condemning all the bad specimens to celibacy, it is not probable, that an attention to breed should ever become general (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
Nature herself in times of great poverty or bad climatic conditions, as well as poor harvest, intervenes to restrict the increase of population of certain countries or races; this, to be sure, by a method as wise as it is ruthless (Thomas Malthus Quotes)
