Commodity Quotes

Jim Rogers quote: "Commodities tend to zig when the equity markets zag."
Commodities tend to zig when the equity markets zag. Jim Rogers
The value of any commodity, therefore, to the person who possesses it, and who means not to use or consume it himself, but to exchange it for other commodities, is equal to the quantity of labour which it enables him to purchase or command. Labour, therefore, is the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities. The real price of everything, what everything really costs to the man who wants to acquire it, is the toil and trouble of acquiring it. Adam Smith
Today, there are also buyers and sellers of all these energy commodities, just like there are buyers and sellers of food commodities and many other commodities. Kenneth Lay

If the quantity of labour realized in commodities, regulate their exchangeable value, every increase of the quantity of labour must augment the value of that commodity on which it is exercised, as every diminution must lower it. David Ricardo
But a rise in the wages of labour would not equally affect commodities produced with machinery quickly consumed, and commodities produced with machinery slowly consumed. David Ricardo
A rise of wages from this cause will, indeed, be invariably accompanied by a rise in the price of commodities; but in such cases, it will be found that labour and all commodities have not varied in regard to each other, and that the variation has been confined to money. David Ricardo
Peter Drucker quote: "Strategy is a commodity, execution is an art."
Strategy is a commodity, execution is an art. Peter Drucker
John D. Rockefeller quote: "The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity..."
The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee. And I will pay more for that ability. John D. Rockefeller
Knowledge is just a commodity. It is acquired in order to be resold. All those who have grown out of going to school have to do their learning virtually in secret, for anyone who admits the he has still something to learn devalues himself as a man whose knowledge is inadequate. Bertolt Brecht
Rene Descartes quote: "Common sense is the most widely shared commodity in the world,..."
Common sense is the most widely shared commodity in the world, for every man is convinced that he is well supplied with it. Rene Descartes
