Famous quotes containing the word commerce:

    “On 16 September 1985, when the Commerce Department announced that the United States had become a debtor nation, the American Empire died.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “I am not able to instruct you. I can only tell that I have chosen wrong. I have passed my time in study without experience; in the attainment of sciences which can, for the most part, be but remotely useful to mankind. I have purchased knowledge at the expense of all the common comforts of life: I have missed the endearing elegance of female friendship, and the happy commerce of domestic tenderness.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “Honour sinks where commerce long prevails.”
    —Oliver Goldsmith (1728–1774)
