"Gentlemen,
I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin!
Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves.
I intend to rout you out, and by the grace of the Eternal God, I will rout you out."
President Andrew Jackson
"I am only one, but I am one.
I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.
What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by thegrace of God, I will do."
Edward Everett Hale
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency,
first by inflation, then by deflation,
the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property
until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
Thomas Jefferson
"To know and not to do is not to know"
Wang Yangming
"Give me control over a nation's currency,
and I care not who makes its laws."
Mayer Amschel Rothschild
"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth.
For my part, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst; and to provide for it."
Patrick Henry
"The individual is handicapped by coming face-to-face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists."
J. Edgar Hoover
"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.
Theordore Roosevelt April 1906
"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it."
Adolf Hitler
"There are only two ways that people are fooled and come to believe things that are not true.
They either accept and believe things that are not true, which is to say they accept ideas or propositions that have no basis in reality.
Or they refuse to accept that which is true, that which is actually taking place around them.
Either or both of these conditions are necessary for people to be manipulated by external entities,
whether done deliberately or otherwise."
Soren Kierkegard
"The bigger the lie, the more it will be believed."
Josef Goebbels, Minister of Propaganda under Adolf Hitler
"they must find it difficult, those who have taken authority as the truth, rather than truth as the authority"
