Public Banks

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or banks:

“He who doesn’t know how to be a servant should never be allowed to be a master; the interests of public life are alien to anyone who is unable to enjoy others’ successes, and such a person should never be entrusted with public affairs.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“Its whether will ye be a rank robber’s wife,
Or will ye die by my wee pen knife?

Its I’ll not be a rank robber’s wife,
But I’ll rather die by your wee pen knife.

He ‘s killed this may and he ‘s laid her by,
For to bear the red rose company.”
—Unknown. Babylon; or, The Bonnie Banks o’ Fordie (l. 9–14)
