“Our rulers will best promote the improvement of the nation by strictly confining themselves to their own legitimate duties, by leaving capital to find its most lucrative course, commodities their fair price, industry and intelligence their natural reward, idleness and folly their natural punishment, by maintaining peace, by defending property, by diminishing the price of law, and by observing strict economy in every department of the state. Let the Government do this: the People will assuredly do the rest.” PeopleStatesGovernmentLawCoursesNationsPeaceNaturalEconomyDutyIndustryFairsPropertyRewardsLeavingIntelligenceImprovementPunishmentFollyDepartmentRulersCommodityStrictIdlenessMaintainingObservingMaintaining Peace Author:Thomas B.

“The effects of heat are subject to constant laws which cannot be discovered without the aid of mathematical analysis. The object of the theory is to demonstrate these laws; it reduces all physical researches on the propagation of heat, to problems of the integral calculus, whose elements are given by experiment. No subject has more extensive relations with the progress of industry and the natural sciences; for the action of heat is always present, it influences the processes of the arts, and occurs in all the phenomena of the universe.” ArtProblemActionLawUniverseGivenProcessNaturalProgressInfluenceSubjectsEffectsObjectsTheoryIndustryElementsResearchRelationConstantAidsExperimentsMathematicalAnalysisHeatCalculusNatural SciencePropagationMathematical AnalysisIntegral Calculus Author:Joseph Fourier

“Superficial knowledge ... is hurtful to those who possess true genius; for it necessarily draws them away from their main object, wastes their industry over details and subjects foreign to their needs and natural talent, and lastly does not serve, as they flatter themselves, to prove the breadth of their mind.

“The growth of the American food industry will always bump up against this troublesome biological fact: Try as we might, each of us can only eat about fifteen hundred pounds of food a year. Unlike many other products - CDs, say, or shoes - there's a natural limit to how much food we each can consume without exploding. What this means for the food industry is that its natural rate of growth is somewhere around 1 percent per year - 1 percent being the annual growth rate of American population. The problem is that [the industry] won't tolerate such an anemic rate of growth.” TryingYearsMeanFactsProblemMightGrowthNaturalProductsIndustryLimitsPercentHundredRateShoesPopulationPoundsTolerateFifteenCdsBumpsAnnualsTroublesomeExplodingFood IndustryAmerican Food Book:The Omnivore's Dilemma: The Search for a Perfect Meal in a Fast-Food World Source: The Omnivore's Dilemma: The Search for a Perfect Meal in a Fast-Food World

Nor is it necessary to bring in foreigners to fill up any occasional vacancy in a country for such vacancy will soon be filled by natural generation.” PeopleEndsCountryNaturalGenerationsIndustryBearsIncreaseFilledEmploymentOccasionalProvisionForeignersFrugalitySubsistenceVacancyImportation Book:Memoirs of Benjamin Franklin Source: Memoirs of Benjamin Franklin
