“A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.”
As quoted in News Journal [Mansfield, Ohio] (3 August 1965)
Attributed from posthumous publications

“Labour was the first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things.”
It was not by gold or by silver, but by labour, that all the wealth of the world was originally purchased; and its value, to those who possess it, and who want to exchange it for some new productions, is precisely equal to the quantity of labour which it can enable them to purchase or command.
