Profit, Pope John Paul II

When a firm makes a profit this means that productive factors have been properly employed and corresponding human needs have been duly satisfied.

- Pope John Paul II, Centesimus Annus, 1991

Profit, Frank Herbert

The thing we must do intensely is be human together. People are more important than things. We must get together. The best thing humans can have going for them is each other. We have each other. We must reject everything which humiliates us. Humans are not objects of consumption.
We must develop an absolute priority of humans ahead of profit — any humans ahead of any profit. Then we will survive. …
Together.

- Frank Herbert, "Introduction" to New World or No World (1970)
