Famous quotes containing the word period:

    “Colonial system, public debts, heavy taxes, protection, commercial wars, etc., these offshoots of the period of manufacture swell to gigantic proportions during the period of infancy of large-scale industry. The birth of the latter is celebrated by a vast, Herod-like slaughter of the innocents.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “There is a period in the history of the individual, as of the race, when the hunters are the “best men,” as the Algonquins called them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
