Private Suits

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or suits:

“... it is a commonplace that men like war. For peace, in our society, with the feeling we have then that it is feeble-minded to strive except for one’s own private profit, is a lonely thing and a hazardous business. Over and over men have proved that they prefer the hazards of war with all its suffering. It has its compensations.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

“That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.”
