Concern

Famous quotes containing the word concern:

    The New Year is the season in which custom seems more particularly to authorize civil and harmless lies, under the name of compliments. People reciprocally profess wishes which they seldom form and concern which they seldom feel.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    Of all illusions in the world, the most universally received is the concern for reputation and glory, which we espouse even to the point of giving up riches, rest, life, and health, which are effectual and substantial goods, to follow that vain phantom and mere sound that has neither body nor substance.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    The essence of statesmanship is not a rigid adherence to the past, but a prudent and probing concern for the future.
    Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
