Famous quotes containing the words historical and/or situation:

    “After so many historical illustrations of the evil effects of abandoning the policy of protection for that of a revenue tariff, we are again confronted by the suggestion that the principle of protection shall be eliminated from our tariff legislation. Have we not had enough of such experiments?”
    —Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    “The abjection of our political situation is the only true challenge today. Only facing up to this situation in all its desperation can help us get out of it.”
    —Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
