Famous quotes containing the words public and/or spending:
“We might make a public moan in the newspapers about the decay of conscience, but in private conversation, no matter what crimes a man may have committed or how cynically he may have debased his talent or his friends, variations on the answer “Yes, but I did it for the money” satisfy all but the most tiresome objections.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
“We should meet each morning, as from foreign countries, and spending the day together, should depart at night, as into foreign countries.”
