Public Banks

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or banks:

“I’ll sing you a new ballad, and I’ll warrant it first-rate,
Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
On ev’ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev’ry noble gate,
In the fine old English Tory times;”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1890)

“The effectiveness of our memory banks is determined not by the total number of facts we take in, but the number we wish to reject.”
—Jon Wynne-Tyson (b. 1924)
