I know how to finance something. It's easier today because, as you're more successful, everybody wants to do deals with you.

I was not thinking about infinite multipliers when I was 10. But I did have a father who was a Ph.D. in commerce and finance and an intellectual man.

W. de Klerk Finance

Let's not forget, it was the government, Department of Finance and Central Bank that decided to unfairly land the taxpayers of this country with unmitigated losses of Anglo and massive legacy issues that would have been expected when nationalising a fraudulent bank. Sean Quinn Finance
As a novelist, I tell stories and people give me money. Then financial planners tell me stories and I give them money. Martin Cruz Smith Finance
In 1977, when I started my first job at the Federal Reserve Board as a staff economist in the Division of International Finance, it was an article of faith in central banking that secrecy about monetary policy decisions was the best policy: Central banks, as a rule, did not discuss these decisions, let alone their future policy intentions. Janet Yellen Finance
