Top 5 quotes from Miscellaneous
"Deliberate with caution, but act with decision; and yield with graciousness, or oppose with firmness."
"Sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities."
"As far as I am concerned now, I have no enemies in the press whatsoever."
"Man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren, and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only."
"Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention."
