Excerpt from Dividends, Surrender Values, Et Caetera
And let us first note one great, comprehensive, oft forgotten fact; all human enterprises deal apparently with or through things the things dealt with are always in sight, always being handled, and to superficial View are the essential matters in transaction. But in reality it is not the things handled which are the true subject matter dealt with it is the human relations to those things it is, on the one hand, the human needs of the things, and, on the other, the human efforts to produce, provide, and supply them to those needs; it is the human rights and relations which grow out of all these needs and these resultant efforts directed toward their relief it is human ity itself in its constant and universal interaction of need and service that is the subject matter of all our efforts and enterprises. It is not the ponderables of trade that are of its essence it is the service of human needs it is not the things weighed, measured, noted, tabulated, com bined, and shifted in cunningly devised equation; it is living flesh and blood, in its hoping, fearing, laboring, loving, suffering personal units.
