Famous quotes containing the words ministry of, ministry and/or finance:

    the eave-drops fall
    Heard only in the trances of the blast,

    Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.
    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)

    A bank is a confidence trick. If you put up the right signs, the wizards of finance themselves will come in and ask you to take their money.
    Christina Stead (1902–1983)
