Money does not guarantee success.

You can't be in debt and win. It doesn't work.

The only way to make sure no bank is too big to fail is to make sure no bank is too big.

People think when you have a, quote, 'bank failure,' that that is the end of the bank. And it isn't necessarily.

Most people don't reconcile their bank accounts.

You shouldn't be trying to create a system where no bank fails, but you should be creating one that catches a bank and allows it to fail without impacting the financial markets.

You can't save anybody.

At the heart of banking is a suicidal strategy. Banks take money from the public or each other on call, skim it for their own reward and then lock the rest up in volatile, insecure and illiquid loans that at times they cannot redeem without public aid.

I think to the extent you die with money in the bank, you've miscalculated.
