I Have No Faith In Political Arithmetic.

In General, If Any Branch Of Trade, Or Any Division Of Labour, Be Advantageous To The Public, The Freer And More General The Competition, It Will Always Be The More So.

The Interest Of The Dealers, However, In Any Particular Branch Of Trade Or Manufactures, Is Always In Some Respects Different From, And Even Opposite To, That Of The Public. To Widen The Market And To Narrow The Competition, Is Always The Interest Of The Dealers.

The Great Affair, We Always Find, Is To Get Money.

The Uniform, Constant, And Uninterrupted Effort Of Every Man To Better His Condition . . . Is Frequently Powerful Enough To Maintain The Natural Progress Of Things Toward Improvement, In Spite Of The Extravagance Of Government, And Of The Greatest Errors Of Administration.

The Principle Which Prompts To Save Is The Desire Of Bettering Our Conditiona Desire Which?comes With Us From The Womb And Never Leaves Us Till We Go Into The Grave.
