If someone is going to profit from your work, they need to earn it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Profit is one way that you can take pride in the way you publish things and insure that you can go on doing it.
One who works for his own profit is likely to work hard. One who works for the use of others, without profit to himself, is likely not to work any harder than he must.
Work is the price which is paid for reputation.
Legitimate profit is good. What's bad is profiteering.
I've made a profit from everything I have done in life.
Profit per se is not my motive.
Profit is not the legitimate purpose of business. The legitimate purpose of business is to provide a product or service that people need and do it so well that it's profitable.
The purpose of work is not to make money. The purpose of work is to make the workers, whether working stiffs or top executives, feel good about life.
Don't be seduced into thinking that that which does not make a profit is without value.
Work isn't to make money; you work to justify life.
