Beautiful
credit! The foundation of modern society. Who shall say that
this is not the golden age of mutual trust, of unlimited
reliance upon human promises? That is a peculiar condition
of society which enables a whole nation to instantly
recognize point and meaning in the familiar newspaper
anecdote, which puts into the mouth of a distinguished
speculator in lands and mines this remark: -- ''I wasn't
worth a cent two years ago, and now I owe two millions of
dollars.''
-- Mark Twain
1835-1910, American Humorist,
Writer
