Our people are unemployed and anxious to work for the food which foreigners can give us.

Land, in England, is valuable, because we have highly-paid artisans to consume the produce on the spot.

I see no reason for giving the capital employed in agriculture greater protection than the capital vested in other branches of trade, manufacture, or commerce.

I maintain that the existing corn laws are bad, because they have given a monopoly of food to the landed interest over every other class and over every other interest in the kingdom.

Now, what produces a want of demand A refusal to take from other countries the commodities which they produce.

What farmers require is, that the prices should be moderate, and the markets steady and for this reason I did, in 1826, 1827, and 1828, take the course which I would now recommend to the House.

Fortunately for England, all her imports are raw materials.

In Great Britain the price of food is at a higher level than in any other country, and consequently, the British artisan labours at a disadvantage in proportion to the higher rate of his food.

Scotland is a great country and many wonderful things have come out of this country, however England gets the glory.

I will undertake to prove that the present corn laws have been detrimental to the public, without being beneficial to the agricultural interest.

If the corn laws were altered, the British artisan might again be able to subsist by twelve hours' labour, a most desirable event.

Priceless is economic illusion.Costless is an economical trick.

The good or healthy society would then be defined as one that permitted people's highest purposes to emerge by satisfying all their basic needs.

The one overall structure in my plays is language

We all assume the worst the best we can.

Arrogance is the outgrowth of prosperity.

You are loved by the One who knows you best. God's love will never disappoint you and never give up on you.

A totalitarian dictatorship cannot explain; it can only suppress.

The lust of gold succeeds the rage of conquest; The lust of gold, unfeeling and remorseless! The last corruption of degenerate man.

It was hard to work and work and work and not get your music played on the radio.

Scotland: That garret of the earth - that knuckle-end of England - that land of Calvin, oatcakes, and sulfur.
