Public Banks

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or banks:

    Utah is the only State that gives condemned men a choice between death by hanging or before a firing squad. Most prisoners prefer the firing squad, but one obstinate convict in 1912 elected to be hanged because “hanging is more expensive to the state.”
    State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    For the wrong that needs resistance,
    For the future in the distance,
    And the good that I can do.
    —George Linnaeus Banks (1821–1881)
