Famous quotes containing the words free and/or trade:

    “Without this, as well as with it, we could have declared our independence of Great Britain; but without it, we could not, I think, have secured our free government, and consequent prosperity. No oppressed, people will fight, and endure, as our fathers did, without the promise of something better, than a mere change of masters.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “And trade is art, and art’s philosophy,
    In Paris.”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)
