Master Financial

Famous quotes containing the words master and/or financial:

    He may have been a master of his fate,
    And of his atoms,—ready as another
    In his emergence to exonerate
    His father and his mother;
    Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

    In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.
    New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
