Famous quotes containing the words acts and/or credit:

    “I regard the inflation acts as wrong in all ways. Personally I am one of the noble army of debtors, and can stand it if others can. But it is a wretched business.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “Gratitude among friends is like credit among tradesmen: it keeps business up, and maintains commerce. And we pay not because it is just to discharge our debts, but that we might the more easily find lenders on another occasion.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
