An even more valuable national asset is our reservoir of dedicated men and women not only on our college campuses but in every age group who have indicated their desire to contribute their skills, their efforts, and a part of their lives to the fight for world order.
Your mother's people are all scattered. I wouldn't know what else to do with you, my dear." "Mercy!" she sighed, winking back the tears, "it sounds as though I I were what you call a 'liability' in your bank business. Isn't that it? Why, Daddy! I want to be an 'asset, not a 'liability." "Bless you, my dear, you are! A great, big asset!" he laughed.
England would be weakened, and to some extent impoverished by a war ending with such results; but her great asset, her possession beyond price would still be hers her geographical position.
He was fully six inches more than six feet in height and his face was so long and pale that even Haw-Haw Langley seemed cheerful beside the ex-undertaker. In Kansas City this had been much prized, for that single face could lend solemnity to any funeral. In Elkhead it was hardly less of an asset.

This boast is by no means true, since nearly all industrial companies come into being with something paid for in the shape of goodwill, which is of enormous importance, but can hardly be called a tangible asset; and even in the case of our railway companies, many millions of original capital went into Parliamentary and legal expenses, which have been, in one sense, dead capital ever since, though without this expenditure the railways could never have got to work.
