Famous quotes containing the words return, public and/or interest:
“Each work of art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself. For the time it is the only thing worth doing—to do just that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head of Caesar, or an oration.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Take example by your father, my boy, and be very careful o’ widders all your life, specially if they’ve kept a public house, Sammy.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
