Ben Bernanke
It's true that the Federal Reserve faces a lot of political pressure and is unpopular in many circles.
Ben Bernanke
It's the price of success: people start to think you're omnipotent.
Ben Bernanke
The more important reason is that the research itself provides an important long-run perspective on the issues that we face on a day-to-day basis.
Ben Bernanke
The American people are among the most productive in the world. We have the best technologies. We have - great universities. We have entrepreneurs.
Ben Bernanke

Ben Bernanke
We do not expect significant spillovers from the subprime market to the rest of the economy or to the financial system.

Ben Bernanke
Over the years, the U.S. economy has shown a remarkable ability to absorb shocks of all kinds, to recover, and to continue to grow.
Ben Bernanke
The benefit of appointing a hawkish central banker is the increased inflation-fighting credibility that such an appointment brings.
Ben Bernanke
Under a cold turkey strategy, at each policy meeting the Federal Open Market Committee would make its best guess about where it ultimately wants the funds rate to be and would move to that rate in a single step.
Ben Bernanke
If you want to understand geology, study earthquakes. If you want to understand the economy, study the Depression.
Ben Bernanke
Life is amazingly unpredictable any 22-year-old who thinks they know where they will be in 10 years, much less in 30, is simply lacking imagination.
Ben Bernanke
I assure this committee that, if I am confirmed, I will be strictly independent of all political influences... essential to that institution's ability to function effectively and achieve its mandated objectives.
Ben Bernanke
If I am confirmed, I am confident that my colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee and I will maintain the focus on long-term price stability as monetary policy's greatest contribution to general economic prosperity and maximum employment.
Ben Bernanke
A gold standard doesn't imply stability in the prices of the goods and services that people buy every day, it implies a stability in the price of gold itself.
Ben Bernanke
If you are not happy with yourself, even the loftiest achievements won't bring you much satisfaction.
Ben Bernanke
Education - lifelong education for everyone - from toddlers to workers well advanced in their careers - is indeed an excellent investment for individuals and society as a whole.
Ben Bernanke
A meritocracy is a system in which the people who are the luckiest in their health and genetic endowment luckiest in terms of family support, encouragement and, probably, income luckiest in their educational and career opportunities and luckiest in so many other ways difficult to enumerate - these are the folks who reap the largest rewards.
Ben Bernanke
One might as well try to perform brain surgery with a sledgehammer.
