Obviously, consideration of costs is key, including opportunity costs. Of course capital isn't free. It's easy to figure out your cost of borrowing, but theorists went bonkers on the cost of equity capital.

The only irreplaceable capital an organization possesses is the knowledge and ability of its people. The productivity of that capital depends on how effectively people share their competence with those who can use it.

Andrew Carnegie

Which would you rather have, capital lined up on your borders, trying to get into your country or trying to get out of your country? We are the capital magnet of this planet and we are the savior for not only people, for not only freedom, but also for capital.

Arthur Laffer

It's an odd situation: I could not write about someone for whom I felt no affection or admiration.

Claire Tomalin

There's only one passion in most artists more violent than their desire for admiration: their fear of identifying the nature of such admiration as they do receive.
