“If a man surrenders all power of self-determination in regard to the profits, management or ownership of the place where he works, he not only loses that special prerogative which marks him off from a cow in a pasture, but what is worse, he loses all capacity for determining any work. This is the beginning of a slavery which sometimes goes by the name of security.” IfsMenSelfSometimesWisdomPoliticsNamesLosesEconomySpecialSecurityCapacityDeterminationMarkRegardManagementSlaveryProfitSurrenderLiberalismCowsSelf DeterminationOwnershipPrerogativePasturesTime Goes By Author:Fulton J.

“In raising the price of commodities, the rise of wages operates in the same manner as simple interest does in the accumulation of debt. Our merchants and master manufacturers complain much of the bad effects of high wages in raising the price, and thereby lessening the sale of their goods, both at home and abroad. They say nothing concerning the bad effects of high profits; they are silent with regard to the pernicious effects of their own gains. They complain only of those of other people.” PeopleDoePhilosophyPoliticalInterestSimpleEffectsMastersGainsEconomicsRegardSilentProfitComplainingGoodsCommodityWagesCompoundsMerchantsPerniciousCompound Interest Author:Adam Smith
“But 'why then publish?' There are no rewards Of fame or profit when the world grows weary. I ask in turn why do you play at cards? Why drink? Why read? To make some hour less dreary. It occupies me to turn back regards On what I've seen or pondered, sad or cheery, And what I write I cast upon the stream To swim or sink. I have had at least my dream.” WorldWritingPlayDreamTurnsAsksGrowsHoursDrinkFameRegardRewardsCastsProfitCardsStreamsSwimWearyPublishDreary Book:DON JUAN Source: DON JUAN
“You can be loved by your family, your mate, and your friends yet not love yourself. You can be admired by your associates yet regard yourself as worthless. You can project an image of assurance and poise that fools almost everyone yet secretly tremble with a sense of inadequacy. You can fulfill the expectations of others yet fail your own. You can win every honor yet feel that you have accomplished nothing. What shall it profit a person to gain the esteem of the whole world yet lose his or her own?” WorldFeelsPersonsWholeWinningLosesFailingLove YouFoolHonorProjectsExpectationsGainsRegardProfitWhole WorldEsteemOur FamilyAccomplishedMatesLove YourselfAssociatesWorthlessAssuranceInadequacyPoiseYou Can Win Book:Nathaniel Brandens Self-Esteem Every Day: Reflections on Self-Esteem and Spirituality Source: Nathaniel Brandens Self-Esteem Every Day: Reflections on Self-Esteem and Spirituality
“If we do not learn to regard a war, and the separate campaigns of which it is composed, as a chain of linked engagements each leading to the next, but instead succumb to the idea that the capture of certain geographical points or the seizure of undefended provinces are of value in themselves, we are liable to regard them as windfall profits.” IfsIdeasWarCertainValuesNextRegardProfitCampaignsChainsCaptureEngagementLinkedProvincesLiableSeizures Book:On War Source: On War
