Profit And Loss Quotes

• When we can drain the Ocean into mill-ponds, and bottle up the Force of Gravity, to be sold by retail, in gas jars; then may we hope to comprehend the infinitudes of man's soul under formulas of Profit and Loss; and rule over this too, as over a patent engine, by checks, and valves, and balances.

• Siempre nos centrábamos en nuestra cuenta de resultados. Pero el flujo de caja no era un tema que se tratara con regularidad. Era como si condujéramos mirando sólo el velocímetro, cuando en realidad nos estábamos quedando sin gasolina.

• El milagro económico que ha sido Estados Unidos no fue producido por empresas socializadas, por cárteles del gobierno y la industria o por una planificación económica centralizada. Fue producido por empresas privadas en un sistema de pérdidas y ganancias. Y las pérdidas fueron al menos tan importantes para eliminar los fracasos como los beneficios para fomentar los éxitos. Si dejamos que el gobierno ayude a los fracasados, estaremos abocados al estancamiento y la decadencia.

  Milton Friedman

• The consumers are asking for, they lose their office. Their task is service to the consumer. Profit and loss are the instruments by means of which the consumers keep a tight rein on all business activities.

• The [liberals] consider profits as objectionable. The very existence of profits is in their eyes a proof that wage rates could be raised without harm to anybody. They speak of profit without dealing with loss. Profit and loss are the instruments by means of which the consumers keep a tight rein on all business activities. A profitable enterprise tends to expand; an unprofitable one tends to shrink. The elimination of profit renders production rigid and abolishes the consumer's control.

  Ludwig von Mises

• Los libros son especiales, son la forma de hablar con generaciones que aún no han aparecido. El hecho de que podamos comunicarnos con la gente del antiguo Egipto, de Roma y Grecia, de la antigua Gran Bretaña, de New York en los años veinte, que pueden comunicarse con nosotros y cambiar nuestra forma de pensar, y cambiar las cosas en las que creemos. Creo que los libros son especiales. Los libros son sagrados. Y creo que, cuando vendes libros, tienes que recordar que, con todos los beneficios y las pérdidas, estás pisando terreno sagrado.

  Neil Gaiman

• When individual enterprise is free and unhampered, profit-and-loss calculations set precise limits to a businessman's temptations to expand his services... a government valuable they may be, have no market price and, therefore, cannot be subjected to profit-and-loss accounting.

• Wherever you look there’s meanness and corruption. This room, this bottle of grape wine, these fruits in the basket, are all products of profit and loss. A fellow can’t live without giving his passive acceptance to meanness. Somebody wears his tail to a frazzle for every mouthful we eat and every stitch we wear—and nobody seems to know. Everybody is blind, dumb, and blunt-headed—stupid and mean.

• It hurt the economic historians, the Marxists and the fabians, to admit that the Ten Hour Bill, the basic piece of 19th century legislation, came down from the top, out of aa nobleman's private feelings about the Gospel, or that the abolition of the slave trade was achieved, not through the operation of some "law" of profit and loss, but peurlet as the result of tyhe new humanitarianism of the Evangelicals.

• We are so accustomed to the miracle of private enterprise that we habitually take it for granted. But how does private industry solve the incredibly complex problem of turning out tens of thousands of different goods and services in the proportions in which they are wanted by the public? ... It solves these problems through the institutions of private property, competition, the free market, and the existence of money - through the interrelations of supply and demand, costs and prices, profits and losses.

  Henry Hazlitt

• The highest spiritual quality, the noblest property of mind a man can have, is this of loyalty ... a man with no loyalty in him, with no sense of love or reverence or devotion due to something outside and above his poor daily life, with its pains and pleasures, profits and losses, is as evil a case as man can be.

• The great virtue of free enterprise is that it forces existing businesses to meet the test of the market continuously, to produce products that meet consumer demands at lowest cost, or else be driven from the market. It is a profit-and-loss system. Naturally, existing businesses generally prefer to keep out competitors in other ways. That is why the business community, despite its rhetoric, has so often been a major enemy of truly free enterprise.

  Milton Friedman

• ¿No sería prudente reunir nuestras herramientas de civilización y ver cuántas existencias quedan a mano en forma de cuentas de vidrio y teología, pistolas Maxim y libros de himnos, ginebra comercial y antorchas de progreso e iluminación (las ajustables patentadas, buenas para encender aldeas, en ocasiones), y hacer balance de los libros, y llegar a la ganancia y la pérdida, para que podamos decidir inteligentemente si continuar con el negocio o vender la propiedad y comenzar un nuevo esquema de civilización con las ganancias.

• When television is good, nothing - not the theater, not the magazines or newspapers - nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there for a day without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.

  Newton N. Minow
