I had some vague memory of visiting Canberra as a lad when we came up with my father by car. But when I made the long train journey from Sydney to Canberra and arrived at the little stop I did wonder slightly whether this really was the national capital.

The senior officer who met with reporters in Baghdad said there had been 21 car bombings in the capital in May and 126 in the past 80 days. All last year he said there were only about 25 car bombings in Baghdad.

I think we've been dulled by capitalism. We're just blobs now - we're so worried about how we can keep paying the lease on the car the mortgage the lease on the toaster and all that. You can't really think about much else. If you lose that you lose the whole lot.

I'm afraid for all those who'll have the bread snatched from their mouths by these machines. What business has science and capitalism got bringing all these new inventions into the works before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!

Our combination of great research universities a pro-risk business culture deep pools of innovation-seeking equity capital and reliable business and contract law is unprecedented and unparalleled in the world.

I don't want to get into the 'who's a hostage-taker' discussion here but what is the estate tax? It's a double tax on death. Economists will tell you that it's really not a tax that soaks the rich but it's a tax on capital that deprives business investment and therefore job creation.

The life of a man who deliberately runs through his fortune often becomes a business speculation his friends his pleasures patrons and acquaintances are his capital.

It takes more than capital to swing business. You've got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by - Advertising Initiative and Dynamics.

Some of my best friends are Venture Capitalists but let's face it a hamster with Alzheimer's could make those kind of numbers. It's great work if you can get it.

The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency.

Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.

Thanks to capitalism the importance placed on beauty has never been so manipulated. We are the guinea pigs force-fed ads that tell us how pathetic we are: that we will never be loved happy or valuable unless we have the body the face the hair even the personality that will apparently be ours if only we buy their products.

I still believe that capitalism is too harsh and I believe that even within that there is a lot of satisfaction and beauty if you happen to be one of the lucky ones although that doesn't eradicate the reality of the suffering. It's all true at once kind of humming and sublime.

It is only with burning anger that we can speak of this attack by counter-revolutionary reactionary elements against the capital of our country against our people's democratic order and the power of the working class.

Back in the days when the market was a kind of secular god and all the world thrilled to behold the amazing powers of private capital the idea of privatizing highways and airports and other bits of our transportation infrastructure made a certain kind of sense.

I believe in capitalism for everybody not necessarily high finance but capitalism that works for the working men and women of this country who are out there paddling alone in America right now.

Smart businesses do not look at labor costs alone anymore. They do look at market access transportation telecommunications infrastructure and the education and skill level of the workforce the development of capital and the regulatory market.

Worse there cannot be a better I believe there may be by giving energy to the capital and skill of the country to produce exports by increasing which alone can we flatter ourselves with the prospect of finding employment for that part of our population now unemployed.

Just as a cautious businessman avoids investing all his capital in one concern so wisdom would probably admonish us also not to anticipate all our happiness from one quarter alone.

No employer today is independent of those about him. He cannot succeed alone no matter how great his ability or capital. Business today is more than ever a question of cooperation.
