Finance is the art of passing currency from hand to hand until it finally disappears.
Robert W. Sarnoff
Literature was formerly an art and finance a trade; today it is the reverse
Joseph Roux

Mario Puzo
As one of our colleagues recently put it, this Republican pledge of no new taxes is pure Bushlips. It's Bushlips when the president says 'No new taxes' and sends a budget requiring the Finance Committee to raise $20 billion in new revenues: $15 billion in taxes and $5 billion in user fees.

Save a little money each month and at the end of the year you'll be surprised at how little you have.
Ernest Haskins
Finance, like time, devours its own children.
Honore de Balzac
These heroes of finance are like beads on a string; when one slips off, all the rest follow.
Henrik Ibsen
