Colonialism has meant selling our ore and being left with the holes.

No nation was ever ruined by trade.

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.

Money speaks sense in a language all nations understand.

Wants keep pace with wealth always.

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

Give us the luxuries of life, and we will dispense with the necessities.

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

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

Exchange is no robbery.

Peace is a natural effect of trade.

For the merchant, even honesty is a financial speculation.
