Mitt Romney‘s only bottom line is the one at the end of his own bank statement. The problem is that he confuses his own narrow, self-interest – and that of people like him – with the national interest. He thinks as long as we do right by the Mitt Romneys of the world, America will be just fine.

Scotland is the only case in the world where the poor p

I couldn’t be working in a bank and launch a clothing line. It’s only because cinema gave me a lot of access that I have been able to launch a clothing line.
I’ve nothing against Goldman Sachs. But Goldman Sachs isn’t an investment bank. Goldman Sachs is a hedge fund. It’s bigger than any hedge fund. It’s more leveraged, to the power of three or five, than any hedge fund.
When I trade, I don’t have an agency problem; I have my neck on the line. When a bank or banker trades, it’s not his neck on the line.
Anna would be just as happy with me if I were a plumber. As a matter of fact, when she married me, I was working at a bank and living at home. I didn’t move out until I was 29!
On any measure, Spain‘s bank rescue has been a disaster. A hundred million euros have been added to the national debt, ten-year bonds are at a record high and the country’s credit rating has been downgraded three notches.
Today we are united, strong and on the move. Today we have a strong strike fund. Today we have the resources to run large-scale organizing campaigns against global employers. Today we have $100 million in the bank.
Most people hoard their money – just keep it in the bank. Bitcoin will really take off when people start spending it, creating a velocity of money.
Playing nuts is a game like any other, neither better than tops, nor worse than cards. The game is played in various ways. There are ‘holes‘ and ‘bank’ and ‘caps.’ But every game finishes up in the same way. One boy loses, another wins. And, as always, he who wins is a clever fellow, a smart fellow, a good fellow.
Berlin has traditionally backed a rules-based eurozone in which every member state is responsible for its own finances, including bank bailouts, with political union limited to a fiscal overlord’s possessing veto power over national budgets that violate the rules.

We didn’t have money put away in the bank for a college fund; soccer was our lottery ticket, our gamble.
I remember sitting on the back of the bus on the first day of the Social Experiment tour with my face in my hands. I emptied out my bank account, and before I did that tour, that was the number one thing I said I’d never do. I’ll never empty out my savings.
I would like Israel to be a Jewish state, and therefore not to annex over 2 million Palestinians who live in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to Israel, which will make Israel a bi-national state.
‘Backwash’ is an old-school, slapstick-y romp between three eccentric loser friends who inadvertently rob a bank, armed solely with a salami and a sweat sock, and then find themselves on the run pursued by singing cops. It’s kind of a classic piece, a sophisticated piece, if you will.
Great VCs do everything they can to make you successful. But just like your bank, credit card company, mortgage holder, etc. they are not confused where their long-term loyalty lies.
Israel reoccupied the cities of the West Bank by a unilateral action, and reestablished the civil and military occupation by a unilateral action, and it is the one that determines whether or not a Palestinian citizen has the right to reside in any part of the Palestinian Territory.
Your diet is a bank account. Good food choices are good investments.
So much of the bitterness that the term ‘McCarthyism’ evokes refers to the probe begun in New Jersey in the summer of 1953 – both in the laboratories of Fort Monmouth and in the surrounding communities of Red Bank and Belmar, where some of the best scientists and engineers in America worked.
David Oshinsky
Faro is a game of chance, essentially, with no skill involved. You bet against the bank, and the bank almost always wins.
Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who has produced my earlier films, is still a part of ‘PK’ and is presenting it. He is not a hands-on producer – he used to put a certain amount in the bank and give me the cheque book.
Even though my face has gotten more familiar with doing ‘China Beach‘ and ‘The Wonder Years,’ I’m the kind of actor that people thought, ‘Gee, that guy looks familiar. He must have put my storm windows in. He works at my bank or something.’
I do remember that I was very relieved that I did not have to go into a bank with them. I had, as you recall, I had already been brought into a bank before and it was better to be sitting outside.
I think it’s foolish to think that if you’ve done something for so long, you can kind of delete it out of your memory bank or delete every emotion attached to it. I knew when I retired what that meant.
I have always said that a bank’s lending rates do not only depend on rate cuts – it is just one signal.
There was a time in L.A. when I drove to 7-Eleven to go grocery shopping, and I locked my keys in my car, which wasn’t insured. My wallet was in there, and I couldn’t call AAA, because I only had $7 in my bank account. It was one of those moments where I was like, ‘O.K., I literally have nothing right now.’
My wife and I made a pact a long time ago we really don

My wife and I made a pact a long time ago we really don’t give gifts on holidays. We figure if it’s coming from the same bank account, why not take each other out for the day shopping or whatever.
In fact, I had a series of offers which would have brought me a lot of money to make films and package TV programs. There were people who said to me, we’ll put a million dollars in your bank account tomorrow, which is a hard thing to turn down.
Never in a million years did I think some kid from Amsterdam would be in a position not only would he be in the Money in the Bank and a fan favorite, but be informed and led by people like Paul Heyman.
When women are trying to keep a man, just make sure it’s a man that you want to keep. You know, he might be cute and drives this type of vehicle and has a nice little bank account, but is he really somebody that you would want?
I wasn’t ever interested in marrying someone else’s career or bank account.
Kathie Lee Gifford
My mother works in a bank, and my dad is the head of my management team and also works in finance.
The amount of money currently in your bank account is a fact. The amount you spend today is a choice. And the way you reconcile both is through clarity.
My dad never had a bank balance of more than three lakh and was always extremely compassionate towards his producers.
I grew up in the ’80s, and there was no bigger group than New Edition in R&B. I broke my piggy bank so me and my mom could go to a New Edition concert together.

When runaway inflation and bank failures struck in Germany in the 1920s, the middle class was destroyed, which led directly to the rise of the Nazis.
I’m guilty of going to a fitting, then going out to buy the same outfit. It’s been a problem for my bank account!
The problem with the focus on speculators, as was demonstrated during the financial crisis, is that it tends to divert attention from the real villains. During the financial crisis, the villains were the actions of the banks, not the speculators betting on bank share prices.
I wroteMonster‘ and thought that it would solve a lot of my problems, that I’d have money in the bank, but I felt no different. I was still searching for something.
The best thing I ever learned when I first started acting is that you audition, and then you forget about it when you walk out the door. Even when you have a callback, you can’t bank on things until you actually book that job, or your heart will just be broken over and over again.
I started the 21 Savage Bank Account Campaign, and it’s to help kids learn how to save money and make money, and open bank accounts for kids.
21 Savage
It has been proven through studies by the World Bank and others that companies participating in international trade are more competitive.
In 2010, I was working in a bank in Lagos. It was a crazy job with long working hours. I had to leave for the office by 5:30 A.M., and sometimes I wouldn’t be back until midnight.
The African Development Bank is one of the most aggressive advocates of regional integration.
We need to keep investing in economic and homeland security. We need to bank on the right kind of economic development. We need to embrace opportunities, but with the right kind of safeguards.
John Baldacci
At the end of a down day on Wall Street, we all need to be able to sleep peacefully at night. That comfort won’t come from our bank balance.
It is vital that the World Bank Group continually challenges itself to refresh our development thinking. It is vital that a modernized multilateralism be open to new ideas.
Robert Zoellick
I don’t know of any other form of life that gathers up all the food it needs in the first two-thirds of its life in order to do nothing in its last third of life. In a utopian presentist society, instead of working extra hard to put money in the bank, you’d be working to provide value for the people around you.
The economic dynamic in Zimbabwe is perversely robust: while ordinary people suffer, black-market dealers and people with foreign bank accounts prosper, making them powerful stakeholders in the perpetuation of devastating economic policies.
I want to eradicate poverty. I think that there’s a tremendous passion for that inside the World Bank.
Volunteering knows no divides and there is equal value in sorting food at the food bank, mentoring school children, and serving on a nonprofit board.
Nike is Nike. Adidas is Adidas. I’ve played in their circuits and stuff like that, but now it’s a business. You don’t want just product. You’re not a kid anymore. You’re really trying to get bank. That’s about it.
I am aware that my name has been connected with all the bank robberies in the country; but positively I had nothing to do with any one of them. I look upon my life since the war as a blank, and will never say anything to make it appear otherwise.
Cole Younger
A crucial responsibility of any central bank is to control inflation, the average rate of increase in the prices of a broad group of goods and services.
Being funny, it turns out, is like being a bank. It’s a confidence trick. As long as everyone believes in you, you are fine.
I was writing full time after quitting a job as a high school English teacher, and I hadn’t been able to sell anything, and my bank account was down to zero, and all of my friends were like ‘What are you doing in the basement, when are you going to get a real job?’, and my parents thought I’d completely lost it.
Matthew Quick
I shoot a lot of bank shots and a lot of shots around t

I shoot a lot of bank shots and a lot of shots around the perimeter. There’s a lot of things I like to work on, but I know my bread and butter when it comes down to it, and that’s in the post.
The biggest rebellion I could’ve ever had with my father would be to work in a bank. He would have disowned me. As long as I was doing something where I didn’t have to wear a tie, I was good.
My dad’s a jeweller, and my mom works for a bank.
Robbie Amell
I trusted the wrong person with finances and the guy ended up breaking my bank. I lost my money in Ponzi schemes. If it wasn’t enough to be wasting a lot of it, one of my best friends totally done me dirty and wiped me out.
How that works is our first season was the year we had a threatened writers‘ strike, so what we did was that instead of doing 22 episodes, we did 30. We put 10 in the bank.
You can’t have bank holding companies acting as hedge funds. You can’t have them taking a million-dollar pension plan for Joe Schmo the bus driver and treat it with the same risk appetite that you treat George Soros’ pocket money. It’s fundamentally ridiculous.
My mom has passed down that you can be chic and look beautiful, and you don’t have to break the bank. I grew up like that. She also taught me I don’t have to stress all the time. She’s always been a go-with-the-flow type of woman; that’s how she raised us, and I find that’s how I’m raising my little girls now.
I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with a bank being big. In fact, there are some good arguments about universality of geography that in theory, if you have all your eggs in one little community, and some big employer goes out, that could be your downfall.
When you understand that making, saving, and spending money is all based on the thoughts you’re thinking and the actions that these thoughts lead to, you can completely transform your reality – and your bank account.
Herman Melville was supposed to be an accountant. Van Gogh was meant to be an art dealer. I was meant to take the train into New York and work for a bank. To be an artist, you have to say goodbye to your family.
The one thing that offends me the most is when I walk by a bank and see ads trying to convince people to take out second mortgages on their home so they can go on vacation. That’s approaching evil.
Citigroup, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Chase should not be permitted to charge consumers 25- to 30-percent interest on their credit cards, especially while these banks received over $4 trillion in loans from the Federal Reserve.
We are going to make people who do some things with Santander into loyal customers who bank with us every day. This is what will allow us to compete in a world where banking customers have more and more choice. If we don’t do this, then we won’t grow in the next decade.
My dad’s main client was the World Bank, and he spent most of his time traveling to Third World countries. His particular interest lay in the eradication of poverty through development and business.
I was a young mother with a dependent. I went from nice flat and fire service job to cold and hungry with a child. I lived rough for two years, with six months relying on the food bank.
I realized that after years of studying Shakespeare and Chekhov and regional repertory theater, what I really wanted to do was bust in and rob a bank and jump in the screaming getaway car and tear through the city and get in a shootout.
M. C. Gainey
I was only 21 when I bought a five-bedroom detached house in Stoke-on-Trent that was way outside of my financial status in life. I did it by borrowing money from my family and the bank, taking out a huge mortgage.
If I was a gold-digger, I would have a lot of money in my bank account. I’d be worth millions and millions.

Most people don’t reconcile their bank accounts.
It’s interesting that Swiss banks also hide their assets from the Swiss by using offshore bank structuring.
I know some people whose father has basically spent their whole inheritance on scammers. He’s old; he wants to feel important, like he’s doing business, so he goes to his bank and pays out – it’s terrifying.
I won’t dispute that bankers’ privileged treatment in the 2008 crash merits populist scorn. But unfortunately, without a bank bailout, there probably would have been a worldwide depression.
I don’t give you editorial control. I want to meet you. I want to interview everybody who’s ever known you. I want to see your correspondence. I want to see your bank statements. But you will have no control over what I write. That’s why I really believe in the unauthorized biography.
I don’t think a Palestinian state is going to be created at a conference table; it will be created on the ground in the West Bank, and some day, a peace conference will ratify that which has been built on the ground.
I’d worked at the World Bank briefly as an undergrad and studied poverty levels around the world – particularly those earning less than $1.25 a day.
I wish I had a million in the bank. I like round figures. I am a round figure.
My least favorite word is ‘Bank’ because it’s the worst underground station in London. It’s terrible. I get lost in it all the time; like a labyrinth, and you just can’t find your way out.
I think we do need to try to not just rely on the central bank to, in its wisdom, adjust interest rates, but allow for people to avoid being exposed to inflation risk.
I like potential in people. If I find someone who has lot of potential and can do something with life, then I don’t see bank balance, which family he comes from, or his religion.
One of the biggest challenges for the MENA region is unemployment coupled with high population growth rates. The World Bank is committed to supporting infrastructure projects that will help with job creation across the region.
Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair

It was always the intention that Shriram would have started a bank at some point.
When you go into the studio, you have to know what you’re going in there for. I went into the studio because I had a voice and I wanted to change things, and I don’t necessarily mean my bank account. The money is almost a B factor, a side product.
Is it okay for a U.S. bank to pay a U.S. banker but not a U.K. bank to pay a U.S. banker?
Bob Diamond
If you owe the bank $100 that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that’s the bank’s problem.
Modi has always been very particular about law and order. He believes in fairness and justice, and encouraged us to simply work as per law without fear or favour. His ability to think big and implement it on the ground is exemplary. He had a vision of a bank account for every household.
You can easily die racing to cover a bank robbery as you can in a war zone.
One thing you learned as a Cubs fan: when you bought you ticket, you could bank on seeing the bottom of the ninth.
Joe Garagiola
China never borrowed less than $3 billion a year during my tenure. They were the most significant client. They used the Bank not just for money but for the know-how.
Bank should be healthy and robust system should be there to lend more, more credit should be available and that can only happen with the financial health of the bank being right.
And so it can be very much in the interest of bank A to sell-short bank B shares, or buy CDSes on bank B, because they have exposure to bank B. It’s the responsible thing to do as a fiduciary, and yet if everyone does it at the same time, it’s destabilizing because everyone is selling.
I established my bank in 1988.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky
We use the block chain to share value, just like Internet protocol lets us share communication. Our goal is to build a global, international bank that is instant, global, and free. Sending payments should be as easy as sending an email.
My pipe business I created from scratch; my media assets and bank I bought from the secondary market.
Victor Pinchuk
Staffing branches with tellers can be considered a premium service in a world where fewer customers visit bank branches for transactions.
Kayla Tausche
There isn’t a bank in the world that could withstand a run. They all borrow short and lend long, regardless of what they say.
The Reserve Bank cannot just exist; its ability to say ‘no’ has to be protected.
I had no idea of the size of my bank account as a teen, and I didn’t care to know. That was my mom’s job, I figured that I would just find out when I turned 18. If you can’t trust your mom, then who can you trust?
I apologize to those of you I offended for coming out against the Ex-Im Bank. I’m not changing my mind on it, but I just wanted to let you know I apologize for that.
Citi is the cheapest large bank.
I’ve always thought stability was suffocating and deadly. Like, when I read that the kids I went to law school with have stayed at the same firm, I feel like I’m reading an obituary. How much money do you need? Six million, seven million? Put that in the bank and do something else. Get out!
When we look at the credit growth, we should look at it in its totality. Let us not only look at the non-food bank credit growth but also look at the growth across all the instruments of financing.
Where do these arms come from, these Saturday night specials that constitute the instrument of threats in bank robberies, or the hand grenades used by terrorists? How can their sales and their import be permitted?
Writing a novel is one of those modern rites of passage, I think, that lead us from an innocent world of contentment, drunkenness, and good humor, to a state of chronic edginess and the perpetual scanning of bank statements.
We need a national infrastructure bank to rebuild our crumbling highways and water and sewer systems, thereby putting additional people back to work.
We’ve delegated politics to bankers. The European Central Bank is inside Deutsche Bank, and Deutsche Bank is inside the Bundesbank.
By the time I was 25 or 26, I would have earned a million, but if you looked in the bank account, it’s not there because I’ve spent it. That’s what it’s there for. I don’t want to be the richest bloke in the graveyard. Look at Elvis.
My bank account has let me know that I’m a homeowner. Trust me.
They explained to me that the bank cannot lend money to poor people because these people are not creditworthy.
If you enter the World Bank office in Washington, D.C., you will see written on the left wall, ‘The purpose of the World Bank is to fight poverty with passion.’ I had it put up there because I wanted something that unites us as an institution.
As soon as I got to L.A., there was this big crime where these guys tunnelled underneath a bank on a three-day weekend and went right up to the vault and emptied everything out.
You’re trying to sleep off a debt that you’ve lumbered your brain and body with during the week, and wouldn’t it be lovely if sleep worked like that? Sadly, it doesn’t. Sleep is not like the bank, so you can’t accumulate a debt and then try and pay it off at a later point in time.
Working with Daniel Bryan, that was fun for me. People

Working with Daniel Bryan, that was fun for me. People don’t know I was working 30-minute main events with him every night leading up to ‘Money in the Bank.’
Big Cass
If there was a payment to the bank due, and we needed shoes, she’d get the shoes, and then deal with them guys at the bank. I don’t mean she wouldn’t pay the bank, but the children always came first.
Bank of America is the story of some of the most ambitious, aggressive bank builders on the face of the planet.
When I started my writing process for ‘Empty Bank,’ everything had to do with money. It was at a time in my life where I started to see money differently.
As a former economy minister, I can’t not think about economic growth. The central bank should also think about this but through its own instruments.
Elvira Nabiullina
My experiment in money exchange was the temptation to set up a bank. The absence of any Islamic banking was also another factor in establishing Al-Rajhi Bank, which is now the world’s biggest Islamic lender by market value.
Sulaiman Abdul Aziz Al Rajhi
I can hold a note as long as the Chase National Bank.
It’s essential I look after myself, because of what I put my body through in stunts as an actor, and even more through the fishing journeys. Trekking through jungles is tough. We don’t escape to hotels and if I’m living with tribes on the bank of a river, I camp out under a canopy or kip in a canoe.
When every piece of furniture and your underwear are taken by the bank, when you lose your house in Florida, in New York, in Amsterdam and L.A., when your wife is dying and your son abandons you, you don’t feel very good.
Al Goldstein
The chances of a bank going out of business are extremely slim, but it’s always a good idea to spread around major sums so every penny is backed by insurance.
I did plenty of jobs that I hated. I was a bank teller and terrible at it. I parked cars, a valet. I answered phones. I somehow avoided being a waiter. I knew I wouldn’t be able to keep the order straight. I’m not much of a multi-tasker.
If you learn to sell, it’s worth more than a degree. It’s worth more than the heavyweight championship of the world. It’s even more important than having a million dollars in the bank. Learn to sell, and you’ll never starve.
I was not inside the bank. But I am still not the only witness.
When I’m in Paris, my favorite market is the Marche Raspail on the Left Bank.
I think a lot of people have predicted the demise of cash, and they’ve frequently been wrong. But there’s no question that the smartphone is leading to the digitization of money. You really now have all the power of a bank branch in the palm of your hand.
I think the most important thing to understand about credit derivatives and their use at JPMorgan is they served a number of different purposes. First and foremost, they were a tool which initially was seen as being useful in managing the bank’s own risk management challenges.
You may be basing a portion of your self-worth on your bank account without even realizing it. Try to pinpoint the activities and qualities that, free of charge, fulfill you.
Sometimes you do have to bank on yourself. You do have to believe in your ideas enough to really get out there and fight for it despite what people think of some young kids from the hood.
I’ve got to sing for Pops; I’ve got to keep my father’s legacy alive because he started all of this. So I started calling people, and nobody would give me a chance, but I didn’t let that stop me. I took money out the bank and I started making me a record, and I did it in this guy’s basement.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mind playing bad guys. I want to play a bad guy. I want to rob a bank. I want to rob a bank in a film. I want to rob a bank in a film but do it with a gun – with a gun, not with a bomb strapped around me.
A lot of people might define a life well lived by how much is in the bank. I feel like it’s how much you laugh.
Jill Kargman
As a child I sometimes used to travel to the West Bank to visit my family, so I know what the checkpoints felt like. I knew what it was like to live under occupation.
Because I came from a small town outside Glasgow, nobody from my school had ever gone into the acting profession. It was just something you didn’t do. You joined the bank or became a teacher or whatever you did.
Phyllis Logan
One of the first auditions I had in New York was for a commercial where I had to go in and audition to be a snake charmer… It was either some bank commercial or something where they wanted a guy charming a snake… I remember they wanted to know if I actually knew how to snake charm.
Normally, we define banks as being either retail or corporate, but ICICI transformed itself from a corporate bank into a retail bank and, now, a universal bank.
I was such a mama‘s boy that no one imagined that I could come into the film line. She wanted me to do a bank job.
We’re a boring retail and commercial bank.
You look at your bank account, and you see the currency of love and happiness is more important than the currency of money.
The Export-Import Bank is one of the most important tools America has to create jobs.
Maria Cantwell
Aging is an inevitable process. I surely wouldn’t want to grow younger. The older you become, the more you know; your bank account of knowledge is much richer.
William Holden
No one walks into a food bank with their head held high.
To me, my dream is just to have it all. I would love to

To me, my dream is just to have it all. I would love to be the first woman to have a ladder match, the first woman to have a Money in the Bank match. That’s just a dream of mine, but that’s such a far dream that who knows if that’s going to happen?
Martin Luther King took us to the mountain top: I want to take us to the bank.
After high school, I worked as a messenger boy at a local bank. I was miserable. I felt like Robin Hood chained in the Sheriff of Nottingham’s dungeon. As a would-be writer, I thought it was a catastrophe. As a bank employee, I could barely add or subtract and had to count on my fingers.
Start step by step. I didn’t start being a big company in the beginning. You go to the bank for loans when nobody knows about you.
It is one of my pet hates when I see players who have agents who do everything for them. They don’t know how to set up their own bank accounts, they don’t know what they are spending their money on and they can’t make their own decisions.
In Britain, the theatre has traditionally been where the public goes to think about its past and debate its future. The formation of the National Theatre, at the Old Vic, near the South Bank, in 1963, institutionalized the symbolic importance of drama by giving it both a building and state funding.
You get addicted to emotions. Our endorphins kick in and it’s like a high. On the low end you might love roller coasters. On the high end you might be a bank robber or something.
I’ve always been very business-oriented, ever since I was, like, eight years old and I opened my first bank account.
The more guidance a central bank can provide the public about how policy is likely to evolve the greater the chance that market participants will make appropriate inferences.
You shouldn’t be trying to create a system where no bank fails, but you should be creating one that catches a bank and allows it to fail without impacting the financial markets.
Bob Diamond
Perhaps the greatest challenge for the resolution of a systemic global bank is the possibility that public or private actors in different countries might take local actions that would cause the overall resolution to spin out of control.
I can sit on a boat or a river bank and problems that seemed insurmountable just don’t seem that important anymore.
If you’re entering into fashion in an original way, you have to know your craft, and you have to know your history. You have to be obsessively dedicated. You have to be relentless about making it happen. It doesn’t take a bank. It takes passion, love, timing, and luck.
I have no trouble walking around. But every once in a while, somebody will come, during the course of the day, and say, ‘Oh, I recognize you from such-and-such,’ and yeah, they’ll make a connection. I think for the most part, people don’t go, ‘Where do I know him from? Does he work at the bank?’
There is something exciting about saving up for a special treat. Bring back the piggy bank!
Top doctors, I have come to believe, are as big a menace to your health as top money managers are to your bank account. They are almost never available to talk to.
You never ask a Maasai warrior how many cattle he has; it’s like asking someone how much money they’ve got in their bank account.
I’ve got my eye on a few things to spend my money on. I’ve got my own bank card but I am really good with money. I don’t spend too much at all.
I don’t think you should have everybody’s information from their bank. There should be some process: accusations and proof that you’ve committed a crime.
I’m interested in the gene bank of how Americans have built in different regions in different times.
Jaquelin T. Robertson
When you’re levered 9 to 1, it’d be unreal for a bank to go down.
I have a lot of college football players in my Brain Bank with CTE.
I never wanted to be Michael Jordan, although I would like to trade bank accounts.
The world is governed by institutions that are not democratic – the World Bank, the IMF, the WTO.
Contrary to what most people think, bank money is much more important than state money. In Greece, for example, bank money makes up 84.26% of the total money supply.
Life’s fairly excruciating. Painful things happen. Every now and then, you drag yourself out of the stream and stand on the bank gasping for air. I think that’s how I work.
The more Israel sinks into the West Bank, the more it is delegitimized and isolated, the more the world focuses on Israel’s colonialism rather than Iran‘s nuclear enrichment, the more people call for a single democratic state in all of historic Palestine.
I believe that if Israel were to put an end to the settlements in the West Bank tomorrow, as it did in Gaza, there would still be reluctance on the part of the Palestinian Authority to recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish secular democracy.
Definitely, I think I’m a life coach for real. The lessons I give are lessons you can take to the bank.
My parents wanted me to work in a bank or as an accountant.
Bruno Tonioli
It’s almost like when you don’t have money, you think it’s important. And once you have it, you’re like, ‘Was I really happy because I have more money going into the bank? No.’
In terms of me being a Christian, going to Israel was r

In terms of me being a Christian, going to Israel was really cool. Going to the West Bank, Bethlehem, floating in the Dead Sea – that was great for me.
What the Food Bank does is unbelievable to me.
I’m letting no man handle my bank account.
Hattie McDaniel
One way to make sure you don’t lose assets in the future is to streamline your accounts. Consider using one bank for all your banking needs and one brokerage firm for all your investments.
Uber is hardly the first company to exploit the financial vulnerability of teachers – and the desperation of public schools more broadly – to score PR points. Amazon, Boeing, Bank of America, and other corporations have played the part of school benefactor, offering everything from reward programs to school supplies.
It’s just surreal that I was the first Ms. Money in the Bank.
If nature were a bank, they would have already rescued it.
The worst thing you can do is try to manipulate or control perceptions. It’s impossible, and when you are found out the result is disastrous. Better to be transparent and play well with others so that when bad things happen you have a reservoir of good will to bank on.
John Gerzema
When I got my first payment, I made a bank transfer to my family.
Eric Bailly
Manhattan is just all bank branches.
When I was little, I didn’t know you got paid for acting. My parents put the money in the bank for me, but I just thought it was this fun thing that I was so excited to do. You got to be on the set and get a little bit of makeup and be on camera.
Chelan Simmons
In sport, the money goes to the talent; it goes directly to the workerunlike a bank, which sits in the middle of transactions and whose income bears no relation to any of the services it provides.
Just because my bank account hasn’t swelled astronomically I don’t consider myself any less of a success.
There were so many times that, as waitresses, you look at your bank account and you literally have 100 bucks, and you’re thinking, ‘How am I going to pay my utility bill, my rent?’ but at the same time thinking, ‘How am I going to accomplish my dreams?’
My bottom line is that monetary policy should react to rising prices for houses or other assets only insofar as they affect the central bank’s goal variablesoutput, employment, and inflation.

When I returned to the United States after three years of World War II service, my total assets consisted of one wife, one small daughter, $276 in the bank, and an idea. The idea was for an export business to supply items badly needed everywhere in Europe.
We are on a crazy strategy with our central bank. It’s good to have alternative ecosystems. It’s not that the dollar will go away, but we need other options if it crashes or wildly inflates.
Before ‘Power,’ I got down to $86 in my bank account. I don’t know if I feel successful as much as I feel relieved because for the first time in my life I’m not scared about how I’m going to pay my rent, and I can start to put money away.
I think Bill de Blasio is doing interesting housing stuff in New York, Rahm Emanuel is doing interesting stuff with the infrastructure bank in Chicago. I want to go to America to meet with and engage with American mayors.

Since I came to the World Bank in 2007, I have argued that we must ‘modernize multilateralism.’
Robert Zoellick

I was in NXT for about a little over two years, and then I was drafted to ‘SmackDown Live,’ and now I can say I’m the first-ever Miss Money in the Bank.
I don't think anyone can ever predict a phenomenon. It'

I don’t think anyone can ever predict a phenomenon. It’s not something you can bank on.
The Federal Reserve has an official commitment to two different policies. One is to prevent inflation from getting too high. The second is to maintain high employment… the European Central Bank has only the first. It has no commitment to keep employment up.
In my own work, I have written about how our public sector bank officials avoid making any new lending decisions – because lending always exposes them to some (infinitesimal) risk of being blamed for the loan going wrong.

My parents spent an awful lot of money sending me to the best possible schools, and I came out of my exams and thought, ‘I don’t really want to do a degree.’ I did philosophy with the Jesuits for about a year, and then I joined a bank. While I was there, I saw an ad in an Irish paper for radio announcers.
I really felt that ‘Three’s Company’ was a gift. When it ended, I had money in the bank and had the luxury to pursue a life that meant something, to learn and discover.
Joyce DeWitt
I dare not stay home while Quichuas perish. What if the well-filled church in the homeland needs stirring? They have the Scriptures, Moses, and the prophets, and a whole lot more. Their condemnation is written on their bank books and in the dust on their Bible covers.
Until 1998, I worked in marketing at ASB bank. I loved it.
Jonah Lomu
Being a consultant is like flying first-class. The food is terrific, the drinks are cold. But all you can do is walk up to the pilot and say, ‘bank left.’ If you’re in management, you have the controls.
Greg Brenneman
If you live in a good neighborhood, you drive home and there’s a bank. There’s grocery stores and big houses – but no motels. What that tells you psychologically is you protect your money and buy good things for your family to eat in your nice big house.
In your 20s, you’re checking your bank account to make sure you’re not broke. In your 30s, you’re looking at yourself and realizing you’re broken.
Left Bank Astana was beautiful at night, each building, it seemed, with its own nighttime color scheme and the street lamps all going full blast.
I live in, literally, the same home when I was swiping my first bank card and wondering if I’d have to put back the Charmin. We still don’t have a dishwasher. My mom has done all these gardens so now my house looks like the garden shack in the middle of Versailles.
I went to the bank and proposed that they lend money to the poor people. The bankers almost fell over.

To believe that your husband, wife, parents, kids, boss, job, bank account, or body is even partly responsible for your emotions, to think that there are bullets ‘out there’ that you have to contend with, that there are stressful life events to overcome, is to miss something vital.
I’m a parent, especially when you’ve had the intense parenting the way I had. It’s all in the bank. It’s all in the great experience bank. Those are your secrets. That’s the stuff that makes your work rich, that’s what you dip into.
Hector Elizondo
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from bank operational failures, such as rogue traders, fraudulent sales practices, and cyber risks. Operational risk capital is money or assets that banks have to hold to shield the economy from the consequences of these kinds of failures.
I would love to have a Divas Money in the Bank. That would be cool.
I’ve been broke my whole life, you get what I’m saying? I’m scared of the bank.
We have no exposure in Europe and not made any finances to the companies there. So the question of Greek debt crisis impacting the bank does not arise.
If your bank took bailout money, take your money out of that bank and put it in a credit union. Credit unions are owned by the people who have their money in the credit union.
I won Money in the Bank twice, and then I cashed it in to become Champion. I was Champion. No one can ever take that away from me.
I did a little soul searching to explore where I had gone wrong, why I made the decisions I did, how my definitions of success and ambition were off. I love a great new pair of shoes – I love to look at my bank account and see zeroes – but what is it attached to?
I remember being denied a protein bar that I went in to buy. I was so hungry, and it was before an audition, and I ran in and tried to buy this protein bar.

Briga Heelan
If you’re applying for jobs, get a suit now, whether or not you get an interview. Spend as much as you can on it without breaking the bank. It will do you some good.
‘We really shouldn’t look like a church.’ I’ve heard that so much I want to vomit. ‘Why?’ I ask. ‘Do you want your bank to look like a bank? Do you want your doctor‘s office to look like a doctor’s office, or would you prefer your doctor to dress like a clown?’
We share a huge visual memory bank, mostly through painting and other images in history. I think when a modern photograph taps into those, sometimes very subliminally, it makes people respond.
Chris Hondros
Created by Congress as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Stre

Created by Congress as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the CFPB was a direct response to the financial crisis and ensuing Great Recession that began with the subprime mortgage debacle and the unraveling of Lehman Brothers investment bank.
The World Bank is now the biggest culprit in the debt crisis.
The Muslim leaders swallow the advice of the Western powers and bodies like the IMF and World Bank, even when it is bad for their countries and they know this.

Charo
My goal is get those chart positions, doing something good in music, and seeing that money in the bank.
Much of the traditional thinking about cash is well intentioned but unrealistic. Should you have six months of living expenses in the bank for emergencies? Sure. Do you? Probably not.
I was, like, 22 years old. I had half a million dollars sitting in the bank. I had no expenses. Life was great.
Charlie Shrem
At least Bank of America got its name right. The ultimate Too Big to Fail bank really is America, a hypergluttonous ward of the state whose limitless fraud and criminal conspiracies we’ll all be paying for until the end of time.
Banks need to think through their ethics very carefully, and many have done so. I don’t know any bank that dismisses the concept of ethical banking.

As a Swiss-Italian who has always worked for foreign banks, there was clearly an element of pride going back to my roots and working for the biggest bank in my country.
We don’t have the necessary laws or powers to deal with failing non-bank institutions. If they’re a big bank, the depositor has deposit insurance, and the regulators can wind them down without throwing them into bankruptcy.
My dad was an actor, and he made it all seem quite magical. It felt like a slightly subversive thing, telling stories, when all of my other friends’ parents were builders or bank clerks. It’s always seemed quite magical to me.
If a bank’s too big so that it can’t fail without hurting our economy, well then, it’s too big.

Robert Maxwell

Most of the policies that support robust economic growth in the long run are outside the province of the central bank.
There has to be more pressure on entrepreneurs, when they create great value, to give back. I always bank on an entrepreneur to give back and get great results versus giving that same money to the government.
I could put everything I got in the bank on my abilities and skill and will, and what I’m capable of doing in the ring.
Once a bishop is appointed, in terms of governance, we are semi-autonomous. It’s not like we are branch managers of a bank or something.
Don’t bring your need to the marketplace, bring your skill. If you don’t feel well, tell your doctor, but not the marketplace. If you need money, go to the bank, but not the marketplace.

I always knew I’d accomplish something very special – like robbing a bank perhaps.

Is there a bigger hypocrite than Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the CEO of ‘Lords Bank?’
I realise I’m known for doing big, very serious cases, but fundamentally, any lawyer will tell you that even the most complex trials come down to the same questions. Are people telling porky pies? Are bank accounts dodgy? Is someone trying to get one over on you? It’s my job to listen and then decide.
I hate when people say, 'Oh, they laughed all the way t

I hate when people say, ‘Oh, they laughed all the way to the bank.’ That’s nonsense because the most cynical, unhappy people are Hollywood screenwriters. They earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for work that’s never made.
Because Mint has access to all of your bank accounts and credit cards, we can detect fraud or unusual spending patterns faster than your bank, then send an email or text message alert to users.
If the public understands the central bank’s views on the economy and monetary policy, then households and businesses will take those views into account in making their spending and investment plans; policy will be more effective as a result.

Secret bank accounts are for laundering dirty money. Heads of state at the UN should put an end them. That would be the best way of tracking down the drug traffickers.

Public anger over bank bailouts was as much about fairness as the billions of dollars spent.
You always try to work for your audience, to entertain them, but that being said, obviously, within the studio system you feel the sense of responsibility to the bank.
Phillip Noyce
One time I spent more than $40 on groceries, and my bank thought someone stole my debit card.
If you keep the situations real, the characters’ behavior will be real and honest, too. If they’re suddenly robbing a bank and exchanging snappy dialogue, well, I wouldn’t even know how to write that.
I earnestly feel terrible for any mistakes at the bank.
The real metric of success isn’t the size of your bank account. It’s the number of lives in whom you might be able to make a positive difference.

Eduardo Saverin
At 40 years of age, when you realize your bank balance will not see you through the years ahead, then my acting talent comes handy.
We have a duty to ensure that patients don’t have to worry whether they’ll be dropped from their coverage if they get sick. Small business owners shouldn’t have to break the bank to provide coverage to their employees. And families should not be forced into bankruptcy because of a medical crisis.
Jeff Merkley
Every writer needs new material now and then, whether it’s traveling to Japan, volunteering at a food bank, learning a new language, or trying a new food.
Men are taught they are going to make a lot less in the fashion industry, so they don’t bank their entire lives on it. They’re very supportive. Women, on the other hand, are more competitive. They always assume I’m trans and say, ‘How did they make clothing in your size?’
Being famous is complete luck, and that’s something you can’t bank on.
The Oslo Accords in 1993 determined that the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are a single territorial entity which cannot be divided. Immediately, the United States and Israel set about separating the two and making sure that they would not be united.
At times, some journalists see nothing in the people apart from an opportunity to make material gain. They see them as consumers to whom we sell commodities at huge profits that keep our bank accounts growing.
You know when you take a manager’s job it could be terminal. I was making sure there was enough in the bank to cover that, making sure myself and my family would be all right when I took the plunge.

When I visited Jerusalem and the West Bank back in 2008, I was shocked by how individual Palestinians and whole Palestinian communities were treated by the Israeli government.

I did a bunch of blue-collar jobs, because I knew I’d wind up with a white-collar job at some point, and I wanted to, I don’t know, I just wanted to taste life. I dug graves for a while, I worked as a stock boy in a big department store, I worked in a bank.
If you spend your life competing with business men, what do you have? A bank account and ulcers!
When I was studying at the Neighborhood Playhouse, I would overdraft my bank account and not have enough money to buy groceries. But I also discovered how to cook with very limited resources.

Joe Garagiola
I worked at Deutsche Bank for about eight years on their overnight shift. I was working consistently in the theater. I just wanted to know that my rent was going to be paid on time!
