Famous quotes containing the words european and/or competition:
“It has become necessary to call the attention of European governments to a fact which is apparently so insignificant that the governments seem not to notice it. The fact is this: an entire people is being annihilated. Where? In Europe. Are there witnesses? One witness, the entire world. Do the governments see it? No.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“Every sect is a moral check on its neighbour. Competition is as wholesome in religion as in commerce.”
