I support the Volcker rule, but there needs to be proper definitions around the Volcker rule so that banks can understand exactly what they can do and what they can't do, and that they can provide the necessary function of liquidity in customer markets.

It is poor rule that won't work more ways than one.

It's not wise to violate rules until you know how to observe them.

There are some good rules and there are some lousy rules.

It is not good to have a rule of many.

It is much safer to obey than to rule.

I like rules that are broken.

You need to respect the rules; they are the same for everybody.

No rule is so general, which admits not some exception.
