Shopkeepers have done more for human happiness than generals, statesmen or kings
"A nation of shopkeepers? Sounds good to me. What would you rather have? A nation of generals? Of civil servants? Of monks? Small employers are the greatest heroes we produce, and their heroism is all the greater for being unappreciated, unacknowledged, unthanked.
.........................................................
Day after day, small entrepreneurs take risks that make the rest of us blanch. They are unlocking and setting up when many of us are just getting out of bed. They put up with everything that governments throw at them, every tax, every regulation, every restriction. And they carry on, stoically, paying for the schemes of the politicians who disdain them."
