Foreign Currency

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or currency:

“When translating one must proceed up to the intranslatable; only then one becomes aware of the foreign nation and the foreign tongue.”

“Both of us felt more anxiety about the South—about the colored people especially—than about anything else sinister in the result. My hope of a sound currency will somehow be realized; civil service reform will be delayed; but the great injury is in the South. There the Amendments will be nullified, disorder will continue, prosperity to both whites and colored people will be pushed off for years.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
