Private Suits

Famous quotes containing the words private and/or suits:

“My gentleman gives the law where he is; he will outpray saints in chapel, outgeneral veterans in the field, and outshine all courtesy in the hall. He is good company for pirates, and good with academicians; so that it is useless to fortify yourself against him; he has the private entrance to all minds, and I could as easily exclude myself, as him.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“That man is not truly brave who is afraid either to seem or to be, when it suits him, a coward.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1845)
