Famous quotes containing the words circulating and/or coins:

    “Every day or two I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homoeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A war undertaken without sufficient monies has but a wisp of force. Coins are the very sinews of battles.”
    —François Rabelais (1494–1553)
