Kansas Bankers Surety

Famous quotes containing the words kansas, bankers and/or surety:

    Since the Civil War its six states have produced fewer political ideas, as political ideas run in the Republic, than any average county in Kansas or Nebraska.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    There is too much sour grapes for my taste in the present American attitude. The time to denounce the bankers was when we were all feeding off their gold plate; not now! At present they have not only my sympathy but my preference. They are the last representatives of our native industries.
    Edith Wharton (1862–1937)

    You are our surety to immortal life,
    God’s hatred of the universal stain—
    The heritage, O Fear, of ancient strife
    Compounded with the tissue of the vein.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
