Famous quotes containing the words public and/or corporations:
“People’s backyards are much more interesting than their front gardens, and houses that back on to railways are public benefactors.”

“You may cut off the heads of every rich man now living—of every statesman—every literary, and every scientific authority, without in the least changing the social situation. Artists, of course, disappeared long ago as social forces. So did the church. Corporations are not elevators, but levellers, as I see them.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
