Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or importance:

    “The Federated Republic of Europe—the United States of Europe—that is what must be. National autonomy no longer suffices. Economic evolution demands the abolition of national frontiers. If Europe is to remain split into national groups, then Imperialism will recommence its work. Only a Federated Republic of Europe can give peace to the world.”
    —Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    “I am not sure that it is of the first importance that you should be happy. Many an unhappy man has been of deep service to himself and to the world.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
