Private Institutions

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or institutions:

“What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure. But perhaps most of all, ideally, what is wanted is a comfortable background, a breathing space of intermission between the intensities of private life and the calculations of public life.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

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