Famous quotes containing the words general and/or bank:
“Any general statement is like a cheque drawn on a bank. Its value depends on what is there to meet it.”

“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite overcanopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania sometime of the night,
Lulled in these flowers with dances and delight.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
