Summary

This quote suggests that success is not an absolute concept, but rather dependent on our ability to navigate and improve upon the chaos and mistakes we encounter in life. It implies that true success lies in our capacity to learn from our failures, turn obstacles into opportunities, and find solutions amidst difficulties. Rather than being defined by external standards or comparisons with others, success is viewed as a personal and subjective achievement that emerges from our resilience and ability to find order in the disorder we have created.

Trade is the natural enemy of all violent passions. Trade loves moderation, delights in compromise, and is most careful to avoid anger. It is patient, supple, and insinuating, only resorting to extreme measures in cases of absolute necessity. Trade makes men independent of one another and gives them a high idea of their personal importance: it leads them to want to manage their own affairs and teaches them to succeed therein. Hence it makes them inclined to liberty but disinclined to revolution.
