Nature Quotes II

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
An eternity in an hour."

Look at the flowers - for no reason. It is simply unbelievable how happy flowers are."

Financial Quotes
"I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's work, banks are going bust, shopkeepers keep a gun under the counter. Punks are running wild in the street and there's nobody anywhere who seems to know what to do, and there's no end to it. We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, and we sit watching our TV's while some local newscaster tells us that today we had fifteen homicides and sixty-three violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad - worse than bad. They're crazy. It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out anymore. We sit in the house, and slowly the world we are living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, 'Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my toaster and my TV and my steel-belted radials and I won't say anything. Just leave us alone.' Well, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don't want you to protest. I don't want you to riot - I don't want you to write to your congressman because I wouldn't know what to tell you to write. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and the Russians and the crime in the street. All I know is that first you've got to get mad.
You've got to say, 'I'm a HUMAN BEING, Goddamnit! My life has VALUE!' So I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window. Open it, and stick your head out, and yell,
'I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!' I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell - 'I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Things have got to change. But first, you've gotta get mad!... You've got to say, 'I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!' Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it:
"I'M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" "
- Network 1976, Howard Beale
"There is something behind the throne greater than the king himself."
- Sir William Pitt, House of Lords 1770
"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes."
- Benjamin Dislaeli 1844
"The real truth of the matter is that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government since the days of Andrew Jackson."
- Franklin D Roosevelt 1933
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies... If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency...the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
- Thomas Jefferson
"If you want to remain slaves of the bankers and pay for the costs of your own slavery, let them continue to create money and control the nation's credit."
- Sir Josiah Stamp
"The Morgan interests took advantage... to precipitate the panic [of 1907] guiding it shrewdly as it progressed."
- Fredrik Allen, Life Magazine
"[Our] Great Industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit, our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activites are in the hands of a few men... Who necessarily, by very reason of their own limitations, chill and check and destroy genuine economic freedom.
We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world - no government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men."
- Woodrow Wilson
"A world banking system was being set up here... A superstate controlled by international bankers...acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure. The Fed has usurped the government."
- Louis McFadden
"Under the Federal Reserve Act, panics are scientifically created. The present panic is the first scientifically created one, worked out as we figure a mathematical equation."
- Charles Lindberg, 1920 Panic
"Give me control of a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes its laws."
- Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Founder of Rothschild Banking Dynasty
