Quotes by Bernard Mandeville with pride

Quotes 1 till 2 of 2.

• Luxury
  Employ'd a Million of the Poor,
  And odious Pride a Million more;
  Envy it self, and Vanity,
  Were Ministers of Industry;
  Their darling Folly, Fickleness,
  In Diet, Furniture and Dress,
  That strange ridic'lous Vice, was made
  The very Wheel that turn'd the Trade.

  The Fable of the Bees The Grumbling Hive, line 180, p. 10
