Public Accounts

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or accounts:

    The public values the invention more than the inventor does. The inventor knows there is much more and better where this came from.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail.
