Baking is a craft that makes you want to do it again and again, trying various flour blends, improving your shaping technique, or simply following the same procedure but trying to do it better with each repetition to improve the flavor of your bread, the volume of the loaf, or perhaps the color of the crust. Repetition is part of the pleasure.
John Kay
History will judge whether Greenspan was the man who made millions of Americans rich - or the man who could not bear to tell them they had only imagined it.
Adam Smith
Though the principles of the banking trade may appear somewhat abstruse, the practice is capable of being reduced to strict rules. To depart upon any occasion from these rules, in consequence of some flattering speculation of extraordinary gain, is almost always extremely dangerous, and frequently fatal to the banking company which attempts it.
Milton Friedman
The key insight of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations is misleadingly simple: if an exchange between two parties is voluntary, it will not take place unless both believe they will benefit from it.
