Famous quotes containing the words private and/or equity:
“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 (16941773)
“If equity and human natural reason were allowed there would be no law, there would be no lawyers.”
—Christina Stead (19021983)
