“Who the hell wants to hear actors talk?”

HM Warner, Warner Bros, 1927

Smith was suspicious of “the mean rapacity, the monopolising spirit of merchants and manufacturers, who neither are, nor ought to be, the rulers of mankind.”

Remember, it’s:

“not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer or baker that we can expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest”.
