Stran xxii - The great and chief end, therefore, of men's uniting into commonwealths and putting themselves under government is the preservation of their property.
Stran vii - Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country, and wedded to its liberty and interests, by the most lasting bonds.
