Famous quotes containing the words interest and/or group:

    It is the interest of the commercial world that wealth should be found everywhere.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own. It is told at every move, “Don’t do that, You will interfere with our prosperity.” And when we ask: “where is our prosperity lodged?” a certain group of gentlemen say, “With us.”
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
