Private Key Property

Famous quotes containing the words private, key and/or property:

    Private faces in public places
    Are wiser and nicer
    Than public faces in private places.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    At the last, tenderly,
    From the walls of the powerful fortress’d house,
    From the clasp of the knitted locks, from the keep of the well-closed doors,
    Let me be wafted.

    Let me glide noiselessly forth;
    With the key of softness unlock the locks—with a whisper,
    Set ope the doors O soul.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    I must feel pride in my friend’s accomplishments as if they were mine,—and a property in his virtues. I feel as warmly when he is praised, as the lover when he hears applause of his engaged maiden.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
