Famous quotes containing the word products:

    “The measure discriminates definitely against products which make up what has been universally considered a program of safe farming. The bill upholds as ideals of American farming the men who grow cotton, corn, rice, swine, tobacco, or wheat and nothing else. These are to be given special favors at the expense of the farmer who has toiled for years to build up a constructive farming enterprise to include a variety of crops and livestock.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “... white people, like black ones, are victims of a racist society. They are products of their time and place.”
    —Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)

    “Good wine needs no bush,
    And perhaps products that people really want need no
    hard-sell or soft-sell TV push.
    Why not?
    Look at pot.”
    —Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
