“Everything predicted by the enemies of banks, in the beginning, is now coming to pass. We are to be ruined now by the deluge of bank paper. It is cruel that such revolutions in private fortunes should be at the mercy of avaricious adventurers, who, instead of employing their capital, if any they have, in manufactures, commerce, and other useful pursuits, make it an instrument to burden all the interchanges of property with their swindling profits, profits which are the price of no useful industry of theirs.”
Thomas Jefferson

Well, I think God has to purify our hearts and get us to the point where we are not just doing something right just to get something!”
Joyce Meyer

“Great opportunities may come once in a lifetime, but small opportunities surround us every day.”
