What can the men whose portraits adorn our currency teach us? Washington, Hamilton, Franklin, Jefferson, and even John Adams were not always as good with money as they were building a nation.
- “The purpose of money is to purchase the freedom to pursue that which was useful and interesting.” – Benjamin Franklin
- “A people… who are possessed of the spirit of commerce, who see and who will pursue their advantages may achieve almost anything.” – George Washington
- “I find money some way or other goes very fast” – John Hancock
- “When you run in debt, you give to another power over your liberty” – Benjamin Franklin
- “All the perplexities, confusion and distress in America arises from…..downright ignorance of the nature of coin, credit and circulation” – John Adams
- “If we can but prevent the government from wasting the labours of the people, under the pretense of taking care of them, they must become happy.” – Thomas Jefferson
