Famous quotes containing the words private and/or void:
“In private life he was good-natured, chearful, social; inelegant in his manners, loose in his morals. He had a coarse, strong wit, which he was too free of for a man in his station, as it is always inconsistent with dignity. He was very able as a minister, but without a certain elevation of mind necessary for great good, or great mischief.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“Aesop, that great man, saw his master making water as he walked. What! he said, Must we void ourselves as we run? Use our time as best we may, yet a great part of it will still be idly and ill spent.”
—Michel de Montaigne (15331592)
