"Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio.……" — Thomas Malthus

"Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio. A slight acquaintance with numbers will shew the immensity of the first power in comparison of the second."
