“I confess I am not charmed with the ideal of life held out by those who think…that the trampling, crushing, elbowing, and treading on each other's heels, which form the existing type of social life, are the most desirable lot of human kind….The best state for human nature is that in which, while no one is poor, no one desires to be richer, nor has any reason to fear being thrust back, by the efforts of others to push themselves forward.”
&#160;“坦白说，我并不对那些认为互相践踏、挤压、打击、压迫才是人类最值得追求的生活理想着迷，而这正是社会生活的存在方式。人类天性的最佳状态是，没人是穷人，没人渴望致富，也没人担心会落后，所有人都在互相推进着前进。”
