"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. . . . The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth."

--Alan Greenspan, 1966

Of the various things I've attempted in my life, Rudyard Kiplings poem 'If' has applied to every one of them.  My favorite line in that poem (of which every line is powerful):

If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same

You caused me to find a quote:

Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.

Leo Tolstoy

 

A metal detector attempts to find gold by ignoring all that is not gold.  That ... like finding truth is very hard to do.
