Additional quotes by Frédéric Bastiat
Man can live and satisfy his wants only by ceaseless labor;
by the ceaseless application of his faculties to natural resources.
This process is the origin of property.

by seizing and consuming the products of the labor of others.
This process is the origin of plunder.
