Foreign Trade

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or trade:

    “For most visitors to Manhattan, both foreign and domestic, New York is the Shrine of the Good Time. “I don’t see how you stand it,” they often say to the native New Yorker who has been sitting up past his bedtime for a week in an attempt to tire his guest out. “It’s all right for a week or so, but give me the little old home town when it comes to living.” And, under his breath, the New Yorker endorses the transfer and wonders himself how he stands it.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “Unless we do more than simply learn the trade of our time, we are but apprentices, and not yet masters of the art of life.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
