Famous quotes containing the words gross, domestic, product and/or barrel:
“There is not a more disgusting spectacle under the sun than our subserviency to British criticism. It is disgusting, first, because it is truckling, servile, pusillanimous—secondly, because of its gross irrationality. We know the British to bear us little but ill will—we know that, in no case do they utter unbiased opinions of American books ... we know all this, and yet, day after day, submit our necks to the degrading yoke of the crudest opinion that emanates from the fatherland.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
“Foreign policy is really domestic policy with its hat on.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

—H. Seton Merriman (1862–1903)
“When I die I want to decompose in a barrel of porter and have it served in all the pubs in Dublin.”
