“Our rulers will best promote the improvement of the nation by strictly confining themselves to their own legitimate duties, by leaving capital to find its most lucrative course, commodities their fair price, industry and intelligence their natural reward, idleness and folly their natural punishment, by maintaining peace, by defending property, by diminishing the price of law, and by observing strict economy in every department of the state. Let the Government do this: the People will assuredly do the rest.” PeopleStatesGovernmentLawCoursesNationsPeaceNaturalEconomyDutyIndustryFairsPropertyRewardsLeavingIntelligenceImprovementPunishmentFollyDepartmentRulersCommodityStrictIdlenessMaintainingObservingMaintaining Peace Author:Thomas B.

“There were the days when women were under contract, and they were thought of as a commodity, so they hired the best writers and a lot of them were women at the time. This was in the thirties and forties, to make product for the people who were under contract, who were their assets to the studios. But that doesn't exist anymore - and as a result, the people who are in the industry write products that interest them.” PeopleWritingInterestResultsProductsIndustryStudiosFortyAssetsContractsCommodity Author:Sally Field
