托马斯 潘恩的《常识》中作为1904年美国《企业家》杂志的发刊词的那一段话的英文版、

　　ENTREPRENEUR’S CREDO

　　“I do not choose to be a common person. It is my right to be uncommon—if I

　　can . I seek opportunity-not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled

　　and dulled by having the state look after me .

　　I want to be the calculated risk , to dream and to built ,to fail and to succeed.

　　I refuse to barter incentive for a dole; I prefer the challengers of life to the

　　Guaranteed existence , the thrill of fulfillment to the state calm of Utopia.

　　I will not trade my freedom for beneficence nor my dignity a handout. I will

　　never cower before any master nor bend to any threat.

　　It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid, to think and act for myself,

　　to enjoy the benefit of my creations and to face the world boldly and say:

　　This, with God’s help , I have done. All this is what it means to be an

　　Entrepreneur ”
