Full Reserve Banking

Famous quotes containing the words full, reserve and/or banking:

    The boys and girls are one tonight.
    They unbutton blouses. They unzip flies.
    They take off shoes. They turn off the light.

    They are eating each other. They are overfed.
    At night, alone, I marry the bed.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    René Daumal (1908–1944)

    One of the reforms to be carried out during the incoming administration is a change in our monetary and banking laws, so as to secure greater elasticity in the forms of currency available for trade and to prevent the limitations of law from operating to increase the embarrassment of a financial panic.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
