“I interpret your question as applying more to financial stability in the euro area than to the euro itself. I do not think there has been a crisis. The euro is the single currency of 330 million people and enjoys a high degree of confidence among investors and savers because it has delivered price stability remarkably well over the last 11½ years. What we had was a situation in which a number of countries had not respected the Stability and Growth Pact. These countries have now engaged in policies of fiscal retrenchment that were overdue. They have to implement vigorously these policies which are decisive for the preservation and consolidation of financial stability in Europe.”
― Jean Claude Trichet

The point is, that in the right hands, everything that you give, you get.”
― Amy Bloom

― Peter Krištúfek, Šepkár

“One who loses wealth loses much. One who loses a friend loses more. But one who loses courage loses all.”
