William Butler Yeats Quotes

I sat, a solitary man, In a crowded London shop, An open book and empty cup. On the marble table-top. While on the shop and street I gazed. My body of a sudden blazed; And twenty minutes more or less. It seemed, so great my happiness, That I was blessed and could bless.

William Butler Yeats

And I think the more money you put in people's hands, the more they will spend. And if they don't spend it, they invest it. And investing it is another way of creating jobs.
