"What this country needs is more people to inspire others with confidence, and fewer people to discourage any initiative in the right direction; more to get into the thick of things, fewer to sit on the sidelines merely finding fault; more to point out what's right with the world,and fewer to keep harping on what's wrong with it;and more who are interested in lighting candles, and
fewer who blow them out. " - Father James Keller

It weeds out those whose costs remain high and thus operates to concentrate production in the hands of those whose costs are low.

"Where have you ever found that man [or woman] who stopped short after the perpetration of a single crime? [especially if he or she didn't break the 11th commandment - 'Thou shalt not get caught' and convicted. The success of the first crime, or the lying escape from conviction and punishment, makes the next crime and a worse crime, all the more likely. Thereby human empathy and respect lessens till society easily identifies and inevitably removes them from the law-abiding community.]" - Juvenal
