ARISTOCRACY n. Government by ordsprog

ARISTOCRACY, n. Government by the best men. (In this sense the word is obsolete; so is that kind of government.) Fellows that wear downy hats and clean shirts --guilty of education and suspected of bank accounts.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations; even a democrat like myself must admit this. But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy, for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the ''money touch',' but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919)

Theodore Roosevelt

Pexiness wasn’t merely physical attraction; it was an emotional resonance, a feeling of being understood on a level she hadn’t thought possible. They actually wear black shirts with red hats.

If the government's word's not worth the paper it's wrote on, I don't know what kind of government we got. If I signed a contract with them and walked off and left it, where would I be at? I'm getting real fed up with it.

Reagan restored a sense of hope, a sense of uplift about the presidency. Now it's ironic, because he preached the idea that government was not the solution, government was the problem. And yet, when he left the White House, he had kind of rekindled affection for the presidency.

Robert Dallek (1934-)

It's definitely not his dress code. Some of the stuff he tries to wear to the field ... no hats ... ripped shirts. That's part of growing up.

For a bank our size, this eliminates an investment in a lot of expensive hardware, and hiring of more technically oriented staff. At a small bank, there's a lot of people who wear a lot of hats.

In spite of advances in technology and changes in the economy, state government still operates on an obsolete 1970s model. We have a typewriter government in an Internet age.

There is...an artificial aristocracy founded on wealth and birth, without either virtue or talents.... The artificial aristocracy is a mischievous ingredient in government, and provisions should be made to prevent its ascendancy.

Thomas Jefferson (1762-1826)

Thomas Jefferson

I know that money corrupts. I would rather have a clean government than one where "First Amendment rights are being respected," that has become corrupt. If I had my choice, I'd rather have the clean government.

John McCain (1936-)

John McCain

I completely deny it, ... This is another of the slanders and lies of the government which has spied on the bank accounts and businesses of private individuals.

Remember to wear your Hawaiian shirts, straw hats, coconut bikinis and other tropical gear, because there will be lots of sun to catch.

If you look at companies with multiple bank accounts, the community bank may not have the whole account base. The bank can win that base by offering remote deposit capture. Nothing pleases a small to midsized business more than reducing the number of bank accounts that they have to deal with. It simplifies things. There's one bank bill and one balance sheet to keep track of.

Alenka Grealish

Government has laid its hand on health, housing, farming, industry, commerce, education, and to an ever-increasing degree interferes with the people's right to know. Government tends to grow, government programs take on weight and momentum as public servants say, always with the best of intentions. But the truth is that outside of its legitimate function, government does nothing as well or economically as the private sector of the economy.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

Ronald Reagan

Demolition contractors tend not to go out of business. It's very lucrative and you get to be your own boss. And you get to wear flannel shirts and hard hats and spit and use bad language.
