Floating Currency

Famous quotes containing the words floating and/or currency:

    They [the children] live in a world of delightful imagination; they pursue persons and objects that never existed; they make an Argosy laden with gold out of a floating butterfly,—and these stupid [grown-up people] try to translate these things into uninteresting facts.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    Money is the worst currency that ever grew among mankind. This sacks cities, this drives men from their homes, this teaches and corrupts the worthiest minds to turn base deeds.
    Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
