Nothing Contributes So Much To

No Extension Of Foreign Trade Will Immediately Increase The Amount Of Value In A Country, Although It Will Very Powerfully Contribute To Increase The Mass Of Commodities And Therefore The Sum Of Enjoyments.

...i Wish That I May Never Think The Smiles Of The Great And Powerful A Sufficient Inducement To Turn Aside From The Straight Path Of Honesty And The Convictions Of My Own Mind.

Every Transaction In Commerce Is An Independent Transaction.

If A Commodity Were In No Way Useful, - In Other Words, If It Could In No Way Contribute To Our Gratification, - It Would Be Destitute Of Exchangeable Value, However Scarce It Might Be, Or Whatever Quantity Of Labour Might Be Necessary To Procure It.

Nothing Contributes So Much To The Prosperity And Happiness Of A Country As High Profits.
