An oldie but a goodie, and more of a general observation:
"Did you ever think that making a speech on economics is a lot like pissing down your leg? It seems hot to you, but it never does to anyone else."

Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

My favourite:
'If I owe you a thousand, I have got a problem. If I owe you a million, you have got a problem'.
From Keynes I think. Me, I am still looking for a sucker to borrow a million from so I can send him a note with the quote.

"Give me a one-armed economist!" demanded President Harry S. Truman.
President Truman was the first president to appoint a council of economic advisers. Unlike some later presidents, he actually liked to liste n to his policy advisers. However, he preferred a clear recommendation, not a long discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of a particular course of action.
He quickly grew tired of economist who gave a good recommendation, and then began, "On the other hand. . ."
