Common Property

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or property:

    This was the noblest Roman of them all.
    All the conspirators save only he
    Did that they did in envy of great Caesar.
    He only, in a general honest thought
    And common good to all, made one of them.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    I must feel pride in my friend’s accomplishments as if they were mine,—and a property in his virtues. I feel as warmly when he is praised, as the lover when he hears applause of his engaged maiden.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
