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

    “When I think of a merry, happy, free young girl—and look at the ailing, aching state a young wife generally is doomed to—which you can’t deny is the penalty of marriage.”
    —Victoria (1819–1901)

    “Though in the trade of war I have slain men,
    Yet do I hold it very stuff o’ the conscience
    To do no contrived murder. I lack iniquity
    Sometimes to do me service.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The Federal Constitution has stood the test of more than a hundred years in supplying the powers that have been needed to make the Central Government as strong as it ought to be, and with this movement toward uniform legislation and agreements between the States I do not see why the Constitution may not serve our people always.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
