“Life’s tough……it’s even tougher if you’re stupid.” – John Wayne
“Inefficiency is solved in the quickest and best way when someone figures out how to make a profit from solving it and is rewarded for doing so.

This is also something that the Communists, Socialists, and most Politicians have never figured out.” – Andrew Anderson
“The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit.” — Milton Friedman

“Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.” – Jim Rohn
And here are some quotes from Teddy Roosevelt that are relevant today. While he was a trans-nationalist and somewhat Anti-Capitalist he did have a way with words … 
and was a smart guy and what he said over 100 years ago still rings true today. Hope you enjoy these.
“The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.”
Theodore Roosevelt
The one below has far too much relevance in today’s world.
It is both foolish and wicked to teach the average man who is not well off that some wrong or injustice has been done him, and that he should hope for redress elsewhere than in his own industry, honesty, and intelligence.
– Theodore Roosevelt
The man who loves other countries as much as his own stands on a level with the man who loves other women as much as he loves his own wife.

The eighth commandment reads, “Thou shalt not steal.” It does not read, “Thou shalt not steal from the rich man.” It does not read, “Thou shalt not steal from the poor man.” It reads simply and plainly, “Thou shalt not steal.”
– Theodore Roosevelt, speech, “The Man With The Muck Rake” (April 15, 1906)
This is one of my faves…
It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
– Theodore Roosevelt, “Citizenship in a Republic,” speech at the Sorbonne, Paris (April 23, 1910)
In this country we have no place for hyphenated Americans.
– Theodore Roosevelt
In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.

‘I have always been fond of the West African proverb: “Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.” ‘ ”
“…the man who really counts in the world is the doer, not the mere critic-the man who actually does the work, even if roughly and imperfectly, not the man who only talks or writes about how it ought to be done.” (1891)
“Criticism is necessary and useful; it is often indispensable; but it can never take the place of action, or be even a poor substitute for it. The function of the mere critic is of very subordinate usefulness. It is the doer of deeds who actually counts in the battle for life, and not the man who looks on and says how the fight ought to be fought, without himself sharing the stress and the danger.” (1894
