* "The Rothschilds are the wonders of modern [[banking]] ... we see the descendants of [[Judah]], after a persecution of two thousand years, peering above [[king]]s, rising higher than [[emperor]]s, and holding a whole continent in the hollow of their hands. The Rothschilds govern a [[Christian]] world. Not a cabinet moves without their advice. They stretch their hand, with equal ease, from [[Saint Petersburg|Petersburgh]] to [[Vienna]], from Vienna to [[Paris]], from Paris to [[London]], from London to [[Washington]]. Baron Rothschild, the head of the house, is the true king of Judah, the prince of the captivity, the [[Messiah]] so long looked for by this extraordinary people. He holds the keys of peace or [[war]], blessing or cursing. ... They are the brokers and counselors of the kings of [[Europe]] and of the [[republican]] chiefs of [[America]]. What more can they desire?"<ref>{{cite book|title=Weekly Register|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wV8UAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA41|year=1836|page=41}}</ref>

* "As we have seen, however, [[war]]s tended to hit the price of existing [[bonds]] by increasing the risk that a [[National debt|debtor state]] would fail to meet its [[interest|interest payments]] in the event of defeat and losses of territory. By the middle of the 19th century, the Rothschilds had evolved from traders into fund managers, carefully tending to their own vast portfolio of government bonds. Now having made their [[money]], they stood to lose more than they gained from conflict. The Rothschilds had decided the outcome of the [[Napoleonic Wars]] by putting their financial weight behind [[Britain]]. Now they would sit on the sidelines.<ref>''The Ascent of Money: A Financial History of the World'', (London 2008), page 91.</ref>
