“There can be no other criterion, no other standard than gold. Yes, gold which never changes, which can be shaped into ingots, bars, coins, which has no nationality, and which is eternally and universally accepted as the unalterable fiduciary value par excellence.” ~ Charles de Gaulle |
“The gold standard did not collapse. Governments abolished it in order to pave the way for inflation.” ~ Ludwig von Mises |
“We have gold because we cannot trust governments.” ~ Herbert Hoover |
