Famous quotes containing the word interest:

    “The slaves of power mind the cause they have to serve, because their own interest is concerned; but the friends of liberty always sacrifice their cause, which is only the cause of humanity, to their own spleen, vanity, and self-opinion.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
