Held Private

Famous quotes containing the words held and/or private:

“Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own. Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy? A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

“Madam, I may be President of the United States, but my private life is nobody’s damn business.”
