Commerce changes the fate and genius of nations.

The road of isolationism and protectionism ... ends in danger and decline. I am for free commerce with all nations, political connection with none.

Money, not morality, is the principle of commerce and commercial nations

There sit the sainted sage, the bard divine, / The few, whom genius gave to shine / Through every unborn age, and undiscovered clime.

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.

Commerce with all nations, alliance with none, should be our motto.
