Famous quotes containing the words fair, trade and/or federation:

    A fair feeld ful of folk fand I there-betwene,
    Of alle maner of men, the mene and the riche,
    Worching and wandringe as the world asketh.
    Some putte hem to plow, playede ful selde,
    In setting and sowing swunke ful harde,
    Wonne that these wastours with glotonye destroyeth.
    William Langland (1330–1400)

    If the world would only build temples to Machinery in the abstract then everything would be perfect. The painter and sculptor would have plenty to do, and could, in complete peace and suitably honoured, pursue their trade without further trouble.
    Wyndham Lewis (1882–1957)

    Women realize that we are living in an ungoverned world. At heart we are all pacifists. We should love to talk it over with the war-makers, but they would not understand. Words are so inadequate, and we realize that the hatred must kill itself; so we give our men gladly, unselfishly, proudly, patriotically, since the world chooses to settle its disputes in the old barbarous way.
