Adam Smith 252 quotes

Virtue is more to be feared than vice, because its excesses are not subject to the regulation of conscience.

Adam Smith 252 quotes

Poor David Hume is dying fast...

Poor David Hume is dying fast, but with more real cheerfulness and good humor and with more real resignation to the necessary course of things, than any whining Christian ever dyed with pretended resignation to the will of God.

Adam Smith 252 quotes

Man is an animal that makes bargains: no other animal does this - no dog exchanges bones with another.

Adam Smith 252 quotes

Adam Smith 252 quotes

It is not for its own sake that men desire money, but for the sake of what they can purchase with it.

Adam Smith 252 quotes

The man whose whole life is s...

The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations, of which the effects are perhaps always the same, or very nearly the same, has no occasion to exert his understanding or to exercise his invention in finding out expedients for removing difficulties which never occur. He naturally loses, therefore, the habit of such exertion, and generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become.
