Thomas Malthus
Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio.

Thomas Malthus
I do not know that any writer has supposed that on this earth man will ultimately be able to live without food.

Thomas Malthus
The superior power of population cannot be checked without producing misery or vice.
Thomas Malthus
No limits whatever are placed to the productions of the earth they may increase forever.
Thomas Malthus
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
No move towards the extinction of the passion between the sexes has taken place in the five or six thousand years that the world has existed.
Thomas Malthus
To remedy the frequent distresses of the common people, the poor laws of England have been instituted but it is to be feared that though they may have alleviated a little the intensity of individual misfortune, they have spread the general evil over a much larger surface.
Thomas Malthus
It has been said, and perhaps with truth, that the conclusions of Political Economy partake more of the certainty of the stricter sciences than those of most of the other branches of human knowledge.
Thomas Malthus
It may at first appear strange, but I believe it is true, that I cannot by means of money raise a poor man and enable him to live much better than he did before, without proportionably depressing others in the same class.
Thomas Malthus
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
