Bank Quotations
A system of capitalism presumes sound money, not fiat money manipulated by a central bank. Capitalism cherishes voluntary contracts and interest rates that are determined by savings, not credit creation by a central bank.
Ron Paul
If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.
Woody Allen
A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.
Robert Frost
I saw a bank that said "24 Hour Banking," but I don't have that much time.
Steven Wright
I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said, "What for?" I said, "I'm going to buy some sugar."
Steven Wright
Don't bring your need to the marketplace, bring your skill. If you don't feel well, tell your doctor, but not the marketplace. If you need money, go to the bank, but not the marketplace.
Jim Rohn
Like getting into a bleeding competition with a blood bank.
Richard Branson
The strongest bank in the United States will last only so long as the people will have sufficient confidence in it to keep their money there.
Carter G. Woodson
A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it.
Bob Hope
