World Trade Organisation

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

    “The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before, the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied ... but written off as trash. The twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which a beggar is a reminder of nothing.”
    —John Berger (b. 1926)

    “Though in the trade of war I have slain men,
    Yet do I hold it very stuff o’ the conscience
    To do no contrived murder. I lack iniquity
    Sometimes to do me service.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)
