"There are no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as a result of voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved." Ludwig von Mises.

                                                                    Notable Quotations

"I repeat what I have said in the past, no decent citizen should trust the Federal Reserve for one second. It’s very important that everyone own some gold because the government will make the dollar (in the long term) useless." - Marc Faber

"Any serious attempt to withdraw the stimulus at this point will trigger a deflationary depression and a continuation of the current policies will put us firmly on the road to hyperinflation" - John Embry

Stalin’s correspondence is interspersed with terse orders to send all opponents of collectivization to ‘concentration camps’, to execute those stealing property, and
to shoot political opponents: “Kondratieff, Groman, [two prominent non-Party economists, especially reviled by Stalin] and a few other scoundrels must definitely be shot.”

"The value of most currencies, including ours, is going to decline in purchasing power. I still believe, over a 10-year period, I would much rather own stocks than cash." -
Warren Buffet


"A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul." - George Bernard Shaw.

"If you think health care is expensive now, wait until you see what it costs when it's free." - P.J. O'Rourke

"History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes." Mark Twain
 
"A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore" - YOGI BERRA

"There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages
 all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." - John Maynard Keynes

“I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men.” – Sir Isaac Newton, after losing a fortune in the South Sea bubble

"A sound banker, alas, is not one who foresees danger and avoids it, but one who, when he is ruined, is ruined in a conventional and orthodox way along with his fellows, so that no one can really blame him." - J.M. Keynes

"If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once.
Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack." - Winston Churchill, Sir (1874-1965)

"The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off" - Gloria Steinem
