Thomas Malthus
The most baleful mischiefs may be expected from the unmanly conduct of not daring to face truth because it is unpleasing.
Thomas Malthus
The friend of the present order of things condemns all political speculations in the gross.
Thomas Malthus
The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man.
Thomas Malthus
