Adam Smith:The Wealth of Nations, Book IV, Chapter IX, Paragraph 1564

Adam Smith《The Wealth of Nations》· Book IV, Chapter IX · Investing

It can never be the interest of those landed nations, if I may call them so, to discourage or distress the industry of such mercantile states, by imposing high duties upon their trade, or upon the commodities which they furnish. Such duties, by rendering those commodities dearer, could serve only to sink the real value of the surplus produce of their own land, with which, or, what comes to the same thing, with the price of which those commodities are purchased. Such duties could only serve to discourage the increase of that surplus produce, and consequently the improvement and cultivation of their own land. The most effectual expedient, on the contrary, for raising the value of that surplus produce, for encouraging its increase, and consequently the improvement and cultivation of their own land, would be to allow the most perfect freedom to the trade of all such mercantile nations.

Henry Ford:My Life and Work, Excerpt 30

Henry Ford《My Life and Work》· Chapter II · Leadership

(2) That thinking first of money instead of work brings on fear of failure and this fear blocks every avenue of business--it makes a man afraid of competition, of changing his methods, or of doing anything which might change his condition.
