Paper currency has hitherto been regarded with suspicion, as insecure.

For each one of us stands alone in the midst of a universe.

Modern money is almost altogether credit money.

When not only gold but all commodities are available for the redemption of the paper currency, its volume is limited only by the value of all the wealth of the country, and it can never become insecure up to this limit.

There is no other who experiences your thoughts or your feelings.

There is never enough gold to redeem all the currency in circulation.

But egoism is more than this. It is the realization by the individual that he is above all institutions and all formulas; that they exist only so far as he chooses to make them his own by accepting them.
