I think Jay is in import and export business as his cards say, but he finally found that the second most valuable commodity today is information.""And?""The most valuable?""People with information," I suggested.
Len Deighton
Truth, meanwhile, was a weaponthat even a damaged fist could still grasp and wield. It was a remarkably versatile commodity; it could be traded, or help serve an end, or produce aprofit.
Mark Allen Smith
A wise man does not waste so good a commodity as lying for naught.
Mark Twain
Capitalism has turned human beings into commodities. To the owner of a restaurant: the cook and a bag of potatoes are equally important.
Mokokoma Mokhonoana

Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Today the order of life allows no room for the ego to draw spiritual or intellectual conclusions. The thought which leads to knowledge is neutralized and used as a mere qualification on specific labor markets and to heighten to commodity value of the personality.
Theodor W. Adorno
Time is the only commodity in life that cannot be bought, sold, borrowed, given out as a gift and it cannot be inherited.
Sunday Adelaja
A use-value, or useful article, therefore, has value only because abstract human labour is objectified or materialized in it. How, then, is the magnitude of this value to be measured? By means of the quantity of the "value-forming substance", the labour, contained in the article. This quantity is measured by its duration, and the labour-time is itself measured on the particular scale of hours, days etc.
Karl Marx
What exclusively determines the magnitude of the value of any article is therefore the amount of labour socially necessary, or the labour-time socially necessary for its production.
Karl Marx
You are what you consume, and as an organism and consciousness, you in fact become a commodity and predator yourself.
Bryant McGill
Because the chief commodity a writer has to sell is his courage. And if he has none, he is more than a coward. He is a sellout and a fink and a heretic, because writing is a holy chore.
Harlan Ellison
In the professional world of leadership ambition and potential are the most excessive commodities.
Noel DeJesus
Mystery is a commodity for society that willing to buy it.
Toba Beta
War is a bazaar where lives are traded like any other commodity: chocolate or bullets or parachute silk.
Anthony Doerr
If we could treat every natural resource as a gift rather than a commodity, we would be on the path to sustainability. The difference is that a gift does not belong to us but to the universe. It comes into our lives from a source that is unknown and ultimately unknowable; eventually , it returns to its source.
Victor Shamas
The truth is precious commodity, not everyone will possess her.
TemitOpe Ibrahim
Knowledge is a commodity to be shared. For knowledge to pay dividends, it should not remain the monopoly of the selected few.
Moutasem Algharati
Common sense is one of the most unused commodities available to man.
Craig D. Lounsbrough
Knowledge is the most prized commodity in the entire universe, and it is infinite in its commodity.
Suzy Kassem
In our modern world, this elemental quality of storytelling is denied. We live today in a world in which everything has its place and function and nothing is left out of place. Storytelling is thus at a discount and like everything else in a world ruled by the laws of exchange value, literature is required to submit itself to the requirements of the market and must learn, like any other commodity, to adapt and serve needs that lie outside of itself and its concrete value. It is forced to stand not for itself but for an ideological cause of one sort or another, whether it be political, social or literary. It cannot exist for itself: like everything else it has to be justified. And for this very reason the power of storytelling is automatically devalued. Literature is reduced to the status of complimentary utilitarian functions: as a pastime to provide distraction and entertainment, or as a heightened activity that would claim to explore 'great truths' about the human condition.
Michael Richardson
Truth is commodity in political consumption.
