Private Audience

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or audience:

    I fear the popular notion of success stands in direct opposition in all points to the real and wholesome success. One adores public opinion, the other, private opinion; one, fame, the other, desert; one, feats, the other, humility; one, lucre, the other, love; one, monopoly, and the other, hospitality of mind.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In darkness, and with dangers compast round,
    And solitude; yet not alone, while thou
    Visit’st my slumbers Nightly, or when Morn
    Purples the East: still govern thou my Song,
    Urania, and fit audience find, though few.
    John Milton (1608–1674)
