“Substantial progress was made in spreading our foreign trade to other areas. Our total trade with Northwest Europe in the first 8 months of last year was 42.3 per cent above the corresponding period the year previous, and our total trade with Asia was up 13.5 per cent. For the first time since 1919, the United States in the first 8 months of 1956 accounted for less than 60 percent of our total trade.” YearsFirstsMadeStatesLastsUnitedUnited StatesProgressMonthsPeriodsPercentFirst TimeEuropeAreasTradeCentsLast YearAsiaCorrespondingForeign Trade Author:Ramon Magsaysay

“Mourning has become unfashionable in the United States. The bereaved are supposed to pull themselves together as quickly as possible and to reweave the torn fabric of life. ... we do not allow ... for the weeks and months during which a loss is realized - a beautiful word that suggests the transmutation of the strange into something that is one's own.” StatesTogetherBeautifulLossUnitedGriefUnited StatesWeekStrangeMonthsMourningFabricTornBeautiful WordsTransmutationFabric Of Life Book:A Way of Seeing Source: A Way of Seeing
“The fact that other countries spy on their own people or spy on each other does not address the fact that the US is engaged in massive, bulk collection to the tune of 70.3 million telecommunications a month in France of perfectly innocent people. That has nothing to do with protecting the United States, and has nothing to do with really gathering any kind of meaningful intelligence on France. It is an overreach ... and I think the other countries are justifiably outraged ....

“In the 2012 election, Obamacare, as it's called, and I'll be more polite - the ACA ...was a major issue in the campaign. I campaigned all over America for two months, everywhere I could.

“My patriotism is of the kind which is outraged by the notion that the United States never was a great nation until in a petty three months' campaign it knocked to pieces a poor, decrepit, bankrupt old state like Spain. To hold such an opinion as that is to abandon all American standards, to put shame and scorn on all that our ancestors tried to build up here, and to go over to the standards of which Spain is a representative.” KindStatesThreeNationsPoorUnitedOpinionUnited StatesPiecesMonthsStandardsShameNotionCampaignsAbandonAncestorRepresentativesSpainPettyScornThree MonthsGreat NationsOutragedDecrepit Book:War and Other Essays Source: War and Other Essays
