Private Suits

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or suits:

“All men, in the abstract, are just and good; what hinders them, in the particular, is, the momentary predominance of the finite and individual over the general truth. The condition of our incarnation in a private self, seems to be, a perpetual tendency to prefer the private law, to obey the private impulse, to the exclusion of the law of the universal being.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
