"More great Americans were failures than they were successes. They mostly spent their lives in not having a buyer for what they had for sale."

Previous Quote

Money can be issued only in the act of buying, and can be backed only in the act of selling. Any buyer who is also a seller is qualified to be a money issuer. Government, because it is not and should not be a seller, is not qualified to be a money issuer.
