Interest Rates Fall

Famous quotes containing the words interest, rates and/or fall:

    The most ingenious men continually pretend to condemn tricking—but this is often done that they may use it more conveniently themselves, when some great occasion or interest offers itself to them.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    [The] elderly and timid single gentleman in Paris ... never drove down the Champs Elysees without expecting an accident, and commonly witnessing one; or found himself in the neighborhood of an official without calculating the chances of a bomb. So long as the rates of progress held good, these bombs would double in force and number every ten years.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    Commas in The New Yorker fall with the precision of knives in a circus act, outlining the victim.
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)
