Famous quotes containing the words firms, private and/or equity:

    “While waiting to get married, several forms of employment were acceptable. Teaching kindergarten was for those girls who stayed in school four years. The rest were secretaries, typists, file clerks, or receptionists in insurance firms or banks, preferably those owned or run by the family, but respectable enough if the boss was an upstanding Christian member of the community.”
    —Barbara Howar (b. 1934)

    “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 (1694–1773)

    “If equity and human natural reason were allowed there would be no law, there would be no lawyers.”
    —Christina Stead (1902–1983)
