The period is not very remote when the benefits of a liberal and free commerce will, pretty generally, succeed to the devastations and horrors of war.

Beautiful credit! The foundation of modern society.

Trade’s proud empire hastes to swift decay.

The money we have is the means to liberty; that which we pursue is the means to slavery.

Trade is a social act.

Profit is profit even in Mecca.

There is no profit without another’s loss.

Honest commerce is the great civilizer. We exchange ideas when we exchange fabrics.

Wherever commerce prevails there will be an inequality of wealth, and wherever the latter does a simplicity of manners must decline.

Business is other people’s money.

Exchange is no robbery.

Lord, I do not ask that thou shouldst give me wealth; only show me where it is, and I will attend to the rest.

One man’s loss is another man’s profit.
