Private Vices by the dextrous Management of a skilful Politician may be turned into Publick Benefits. - Bernard Mandeville

We seldom call any body lazy, but such as we reckon inferior to us, and of whom we expect some Service.

The worst of all the Multitude
Did something for the Common Good.

The first Rudiments of Morality, broach'd by skilful Politicians, to render Men useful to each other as well as tractable, were chiefly contrived that the Ambitious might reap the more Benefit from, and govern vast Numbers of them with the greater Ease and Security.
