No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the greater
part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity, besides,
that they who feed, cloath and lodge the whole body of the people,
should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be
themselves tolerably well fed, clothed, and lodged. - Adam Smith
- Chapter VIII, p. 94.,The Wealth of Nations
- Chapter VIII.
- Chapter IX, p. 117.

Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do
no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing
more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do
nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong
to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to
supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the
subject. It depends on the habit of attending to and looking into public
transactions, and on the degree of information and solid judgment
respecting them that exists in the community, whether the conduct of the
nation as a nation, both within itself and towards others, shall be
selfish, corrupt, and tyrannical, or rational and enlightened, just and
noble. - John Stuart Mill
