Famous quotes containing the words free and/or trade:

    “Actually we are a vulgar, pushing mob whose passions are easily mobilized by demagogues, newspaper men, religious quacks, agitators and such like. To call this a society of free peoples is blasphemous. What have we to offer the world besides the superabundant loot which we recklessly plunder from the earth under the maniacal delusion that this insane activity represents progress and enlightenment?”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    “Every trade has its master.”
    —Chinese proverb.
