“England was nothing, compared to continental nations until she had become commercial... until about the middle of the last century, when a number of ingenious and inventive men, without apparent relation to each other, arose in various parts of the kingdom, succeeded in giving an immense impulse to all the branches of the national industry; the result of which has been a harvest of wealth and prosperity, perhaps without a parallel in the history of the world.” MenWorldGivingHas BeensLastsNationsWealthResultsNumbersMiddleCenturyIndustryEnglandRelationProsperityVariousKingdomsImpulseBranchesImmenseHarvestWorld HistoryParallelsIngeniousContinental Author:Samuel Smiles
“This whole theory [of John Law and Jean Terrasson], as dear to French financial schemers in the eighteenth century as to American "Greenbackers" in the nineteenth, had resulted, under the Orleans Regency and Louis XV, in ruin to France financially and morally, had culminated in the utter destruction of all prosperity, the rooting out of great numbers of the most important industries, and the grinding down of the working people even to starvation.” PeopleImportantWholeLawNumbersCenturyTheoryIndustryDestructionFinancialDearProsperityRuinsFranceStarvation Author:Andrew Dickson White

“When harvests are exuberant, joy and health follow in their train; but let delusive prosperity draw industry from agriculture; let an insiduous disease attack one of its important products; let an insect, or a parasite, fasten on a single esculent, and mark the effect upon commerce and human life. Upon such an event all business is deranged.” HumansImportantJoyEffectsEventsProductsIndustryDiseaseDrawsMarkTrainProsperityHuman LifeCommerceAgricultureHarvestInsectsParasitesDeranged Author:Elias Hasket Derby

“I pay tribute to John Major's achievement in persuading the other 11 Community Heads of Government that they could move ahead to a Social Chapter but not within the treaty and without Britain's participation. It sets a vital precedent. For an enlarged Community can only function if we build in flexibility of that kind... John Major deserves high praise for ensuring at Maastricht that we would not have either a Single Currency or the absurd provisions of the Social Chapter forced upon us: our industry, workforce, and national prosperity will benefit as a result.” IfsKindGovernmentMovingSocialCommunityResultsPayIndustryAchievementBenefitsMajorsDeserveFunctionPraiseProsperityAbsurdBritainChaptersCurrencyParticipationFlexibilityProvisionTributeTreatiesPrecedentWorkforceMoving AheadPersuading Author:Margaret Thatcher
