A huge dollar bill is the most accurate way to teach children the real motto of the United States: In the Almighty Dollar We Trust...

Think about it: if you were running a multi-million dollar company, and your database of customer information was stolen, would you want to tell your clients?

When you're borrowing 40 cents of every dollar that you spend, that can't continue much longer.

Today, the rich bottom land of the Misssissippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help.

I am specifically concerned about the idea that the legislative process is one that gets characterized the way it is as the 'fiscal cliff.'

I was trained as journalist never to use the word 'I,' never to put my own opinion there. In fact, if you had a dollar or a euro for every time I use the word 'I,' you would be a poor person. But this is not true in general. I like the idea of being able to stand away and make a judgement.

It was early on in 1965 when I wrote some of my first poems. I sent a poem to 'Harper's' magazine because they paid a dollar a line.

It seemed like the poem came back the next day: no letter, nothing.

Every dollar of tax imposed on our exchanges in the shape of duties impairs, to that extent, our capacity to meet the severe competition to which we are exposed; and nothing but a system of high protective duties, long continued, can prevent us from meeting it successfully. It is that which we have to fear.

The average Indian doesn't care about Hollywood movies because they have far too many movies of their own to watch, to miss, and I hope a story like 'Million Dollar Arm,' that is actually about India and deals with these two Indian kids, resonates over there and makes people want to go and see the movie.

You may think it was a very little thing, and in these days it seems to me like a trifle, but it was a most important incident in my life.

When my parents were paying for my sport, it wasn't just me out on the ice. Pretty much every dollar my mom made teaching went into my skating.

Time will tell.

We want to see what his line of reasoning was and if it's a valid argument, then perhaps the dollar sells off. If his comments are not as dovish as people might fear, the dollar might rally.
