Famous quotes containing the words largest, private, equity and/or firms:
“The debt was the most sacred obligation incurred during the war. It was by no means the largest in amount. We do not haggle with those who lent us money. We should not with those who gave health and blood and life. If doors are opened to fraud, contrive to close them. But dont deny the obligation, or scold at its performance.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“Public scandal is what makes the offense; sinning in private is not sinning at all.”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (16221673)
“If equity and human natural reason were allowed there would be no law, there would be no lawyers.”
—Christina Stead (19021983)
“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)
