Bank Ladder Match

Famous quotes containing the words bank, ladder and/or match:

“The prairies were dust. Day after day, summer after summer, the scorching winds blew the dust and the sun was brassy in a yellow sky. Crop after crop failed. Again and again the barren land must be mortgaged for taxes and food and next year’s seed. The agony of hope ended when there was not harvest and no more credit, no money to pay interest and taxes; the banker took the land. Then the bank failed.”
—Rose Wilder Lane (1886–1968)

“O, when degree is shaked,
Which is the ladder to all high designs,
The enterprise is sick.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“You look rather rash my dear your colors don’t quite match your face.”
—Daisy Ashford (1881–1972)
