The unproductive tillage of human cattle takes that which of right belongs to free labor, and which is necessary for the support and happiness of our own race.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.
Let us not forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. When tillage begins, other arts will follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization.
'Cost-saver' in industrial livestock agriculture may usually be taken to mean 'moral shortcut.'
The land on which the cattle grazed was communal property. It was owned by no one. It was nobody's private farm. It was the common property of the people, shared by the people. So the practice of sharing was central to the concept of ownership of property.
The tillage of the soil occupies the vast majority of those who work for their own bread.
A good farmer is nothing more nor less than a handy man with a sense of humus.
Here we are to remember that in consequence of our opinion that labor is the Father and active principle of wealth, as lands are the Mother, that the state by killing, mutilating, or imprisoning their members do withal punish themselves.
We spend more on cows than the poor.
Sacred cows make very poor gladiators.
Labor is work that leaves no trace behind it when it is finished, or if it does, as in the case of the tilled field, this product of human activity requires still more labor, incessant, tireless labor, to maintain its identity as a 'work' of man.
