"He who controls the money supply of a nation controls the nation." ― James A. Garfield Topic(s): Money More From James A. Garfield "Poverty is uncomfortable; but nine times out of ten the best thing that can happen to a young man is to be tossed overboard and compelled to sink or swim." "All free governments are managed by the combined wisdom and folly of the people." "The chief duty of government is to keep the peace and stand out of the sunshine of the people."
