Foreign Exchange Reserves

Famous quotes containing the words foreign, exchange and/or reserves:

    “Maybe it’s understandable what a history of failures America’s foreign policy has been. We are, after all, a country full of people who came to America to get away from foreigners. Any prolonged examination of the U.S. government reveals foreign policy to be America’s miniature schnauzer—a noisy but small and useless part of the national household.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    “I know nothing which life has to offer so satisfying as the profound good understanding, which can subsist, after much exchange of good offices, between two virtuous men, each of whom is sure of himself, and sure of his friend. It is a happiness which postpones all other gratifications, and makes politics, and commerce, and churches, cheap.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “...I want to see a film, they send the Israeli army reserves to escort me! What kind of life is this?”
    —Golda Meir (1898–1978)
