📖 Quote about capital
Le travail est antérieur au capital et indépendant de celui-ci. Le capital n'est que le fruit du travail et n'aurait jamais pu exister si le travail n'avait pas existé avant lui. Le travail est supérieur au capital et mérite de loin plus grande considération.
Labor is prior to capital and independent of it. Capital is only the fruit of labor and could never have existed if labor had not existed before it. Labor is superior to capital and deserves far greater consideration.
Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.
