Economic Conditions

Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or conditions:

    “When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    “When and under what conditions is the black man to have a free ballot? When is he in fact to have those full civil rights which have so long been his in law?”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
