Heraklit. 
Value dwells not in partieular will, 
It holds its estimate and dignity 
As well wherin ’tis preeious of itself. 
As in the prizer. 
Shakespeare, 
Troilus and Cressida, II. 2. 
Labour is a commodity, which cannot 
be increased and diminished at pleasure. 
D. Ricardo, 
Principles of Political Economy, IX Ch. 
The labour of nature is paid, not be- 
caase she does much, but because she 
does little. In proportion as she becomes 
niggardly in her gifts, she exacts a greater 
price for her work. Where she is muni- 
ficently beneficent, she always works gratis. 
D. Ricardo, 
Principles of Political Economy, 11 Ch.
