Early to bed and early to rise - till you get enough money to do otherwise
Almanac, Peter's

Give a man a fish he'll feed himself for one night. Teach a man to fish and he'll undercut you at market and steal all your customers. Ain't capitalism grand?
Archgimp

The real fight today is against inhuman, relentless exercise of capitalistic power. The present struggle in which we are engaged is for social and industrial justice.
Brandeis, Justice Louis D

It is the interest of the commercial world that wealth should be found everywhere
Burke, Edmund

Anyone who can walk to the welfare office can walk to work
Capp, Al

If you destroy a free market, you create a black market.
Churchill, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer

Some regard private enterprise as if it were a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look upon it as a cow that they can milk. Only a handful see it for what it really is - the strong horse that pulls the whole cart
Churchill, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer

You can buy a person's hands but you can't buy his heart. His heart is where his enthusiasm, his loyalty is
Covey, Stephen R

If the misery of our poor is caused not by the laws of nature, but by our great institutions, great is our sin.
Darwin, Charles Robert

We didn't actually overspend our budget. The allocation simply fell short of our expenditure.
Davis, Keith

I understand less well how free enterprise would provide Social Security. The answer will be that it ought to be able to do without it. But if it had to set up an atomic bomb, which it might have been unable to create, against the bombs of the Soviet State, even the Chinese State, I wouldn't count on free enterprise. Enough of such childishness.
De Gaulle, General Charles-André-Joseph-Marie

Economics is war pursued by other means
DeVoe, Jr, Raymond

The oil can is mightier than the sword.
Dirksen, Everett McKinley

I told the Inland Revenue I didn't owe them a penny because I lived near the seaside
Dodd, Ken

I am absolutely convinced that no amount of wealth in the world can help humanity move forward, even in the hands of the most devoted worker. The example of great and pure individuals is the only thing that can lead us to noble thoughts and deeds. Money only appeals to selfishness and irresistibly invites abuse. Can anyone imagine Moses, Jesus or Ghandi armed with the money-bags of Carnegie?
Einstein, Albert

Ask five economists and you'll get five different answers (six if one went to Harvard)
Fiedler, Edgar R

If you make money your god, it will plague you like the devil.
Fielding, Henry

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life
Ford, Henry

Beware of small expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship
Franklin, Benjamin

A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
Frost, Robert

Under capitalism man exploits man; under socialism the reverse is true.
Galbraith, John Kenneth

Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed
Gandhi, Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand

He who controls the money supply of a nation controls the nation.
Garfield, President James Abram

Capitalism can exist in one of only two states: welfare or warfare.
Gray, Bill

Capitalism did not arise because capitalists stole the land, but because it was more efficient than feudalism. It will perish because it is not merely less efficient than socialism, but actually self-destructive.
Haldane, John Burdon Sanderson
