Famous quotes containing the words private and/or equity:

    “It was evident that, both on account of the feudal system and the aristocratic government, a private man was not worth so much in Canada as in the United States; and, if your wealth in any measure consists in manliness, in originality and independence, you had better stay here. How could a peaceable, freethinking man live neighbor to the Forty-ninth Regiment? A New-Englander would naturally be a bad citizen, probably a rebel, there,—certainly if he were already a rebel at home.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

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