Famous quotes containing the words farming and/or endeavors:
“The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
“Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.”
—Frédéric Bastiat (1801–1850)
