Famous Quote from James Madison,


"What becomes of the surplus of human life?
It is either, 1st destroyed by infanticide, as among the Chinese and Lacedemonians; or
2nd it is stifled or starved, as among other nations whose population is commensurate to its food; or
3rd it is consumed by wars and endemic diseases; or
4th it overflows, by emigration, to places where a surplus of food is attainable."
