Sovereign Wealth Funds

Famous quotes containing the words sovereign and/or wealth:

    “Every new sovereign brings his own ministers.”
    —Chinese proverb.

    “Ill fares the land, to hastening ills a prey,
    Where wealth accumulates, and men decay:
    Princes and lords may flourish, or may fade;
    A breath can make them, as a breath has made;
    But a bold peasantry, their country’s pride,
    When once destroyed, can never be supplied.”
