Ludwig von Mises: "The greater productivity of work under the division of labor is a unifying influence. It leads men to regard each other as comrades in a joint struggle for welfare, rather than as competitors in a struggle for existence. It makes friends out of enemies, peace out of war, society out of individuals." - Socialism

If this were true, success or failure in business would depend on the mode of advertising only. | Human Action | p. 317; p. 321 | Advertising |
| Ludwig von Mises | The tricks and artifices of advertising are available to the seller of the better product no less than to the seller of the poorer product. But only the former enjoys the advantage derived from the better quality of his product. | Human Action | p. 318; p. 321 | Advertising |
