My father, one of the great entrepreneurs and philanthropists of this state, taught me that capital - monetary or political - is to be used to benefit others. I intend to continue that tradition.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A wise governor told me a long time ago, political capital you don't get more of by keeping it. You get it by using it.
Capital is money, capital is commodities. By virtue of it being value, it has acquired the occult ability to add value to itself. It brings forth living offspring, or, at the least, lays golden eggs.
In capital we trust. Capital is our savior, our holy grail, our fountain of youth, or at least health, for banks.
As President Bush has said on numerous occasions, it is the government's role to create the conditions, the friendly environment, that will attract capital.
The financial doctrines so zealously followed by American companies might help optimize capital when it is scarce. But capital is abundant. If we are to see our economy really grow, we need to encourage migratory capital to become productive capital - capital invested for the long-term in empowering innovations.
You have to spend your political capital on great causes for your country.
Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.
My main capital isn't the money. I respect myself; I respect my country.
Generally, you want to raise capital either when you have to or when it's really easy. If the company desperately needs money, and they can't figure out any other way, then they need to raise money. Or if someone's offering you easy money on good terms, you should take it because you can use it for good things.
Capital is that part of wealth which is devoted to obtaining further wealth.
