Private Institutions

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or institutions:

“I believe that what so saddens the reformer is not his sympathy with his fellows in distress, but, though he be the holiest son of God, is his private ail. Let this be righted, let the spring come to him, the morning rise over his couch, and he will forsake his generous companions without apology.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Men may die, but the fabric of our free institutions remains unshaken.”
—Chester A. Arthur (1829–1886)
