Broker Quotations

I do not regard a broker as a member of the human race.
Honore de Balzac

Once the brokerage house, rather than the bank, became the locus for American savings, that money would find its way into the stock market, because the broker was someone with a much higher tolerance for risk than the banker.
Ron Chernow

Barbara Boxer

We've always had a dual role in the region - friend of Israel, and honest broker. We've given up the honest broker role completely.
Chris Matthews
