American Free Trade

Famous quotes containing the words american, free and/or trade:

    In every American there is an air of incorrigible innocence, which seems to conceal a diabolical cunning.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    I discuss with myself questions of politics, love, taste, or philosophy. I let my mind rove wantonly, give it free rein to follow any idea, wise or mad that may present itself.... My ideas are my harlots.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    I have no doubt that they lived pretty much the same sort of life in the Homeric age, for men have always thought more of eating than of fighting; then, as now, their minds ran chiefly on the “hot bread and sweet cakes;” and the fur and lumber trade is an old story to Asia and Europe.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
