World Trade Organisation

Famous quotes containing the words world, trade and/or organisation:

    If all things were eternall,
    And nothing their end bringing;
    If this should be, then how should we
    Here make an end of singing?
    —Unknown. If All the World Were Paper (l. 21–24)

    Until the end of the Middle Ages, and in many cases afterwards too, in order to obtain initiation in a trade of any sort whatever—whether that of courtier, soldier, administrator, merchant or workman—a boy did not amass the knowledge necessary to ply that trade before entering it, but threw himself into it; he then acquired the necessary knowledge.
    Philippe Ariés (20th century)

    It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
