Summary

This quote questions the notion of individual failure, noting that everyone faces challenges and aims to succeed. It implies that failure is not an isolated experience but rather a universal part of the human condition. By highlighting the collective nature of striving and the rarity of achieving success, it suggests that it is unreasonable to solely blame oneself for failure, as it is a shared struggle faced by all.

What a country wants to make it richer is never consumption,

What a country wants to make it richer is never consumption, but production. Where there is the latter, we may be sure that there is no want of the former. To produce, implies that the producer de_sires to consume; why else should he give himself useless labor? He may not wish to consume what he himself produces, but his motive for producing and selling is the desire to buy. Therefore, if the producers generally produce and sell more and more, they certainly also buy more and more.
