Lebih baik seseorang melakukan tirani atas saldo banknya daripada atas sesama warganya dan sementara yang pertama kadang-kadang dicela sebagai sarana bagi yang terakhir, kadang-kadang setidaknya itu adalah alternatif. Asli: It is better that a man should tyrannize over his bank balance than over his fellow-citizens and whilst the former is sometimes denounced as being but a means to the latter, sometimes at least it is an alternative.

— Kata-kata Bijak dari John Maynard Keynes
