“There is something sacred about the
signature; it makes everything valid, puts
the seal upon all undertakings, makes bonds
real, guarantees securities, cements pacts of
friendship and alliance between States,
provides the ultimate proofs of integrity in
the highest country of law – the signature is
all in all. Banks will not honour anything
which does not bear a signature; to them
the signature is omnipotenet, omnipresent,
omniscient and supreme!”
