A merchant's desire is gezegde

 A merchant's desire is not of glory, but of gain; not of public wealth, but of private emolument; he is, therefore, rarely to be consulted about war and peace, or any designs of wide extent and distant consequence
  Samuel Johnson

 It is true that so far as wealth gives time for ideal ends and exercise to ideal energies, wealth is better than poverty and ought to be chosen. But wealth does this in only a portion of the actual cases. Elsewhere the desire to gain wealth and the fear to lose it are our chief breeders of cowardice and propagators of corruption. There must be thousands of conjunctures in which a wealth-bound man must be a slave, whilst a man for whom poverty has no terrors becomes a freeman.
  William James

 I see the case as creating two extremes. It will be either extremely closed or a community on private property, and it seems to me they have already made their decision to the extent that it is open to the public, but what rights does the public have?

 I'm very rarely beyond words and I am right now, ... It's one of those quiet moments. It's as public as it is but it's as private as can be.

 To the extent the Legislature wants to give the department some direction as to how these private-public partnerships should be done in the future, we would be more than happy to accept that direction. To the extent that the objective of having the auditor or anybody else review what we have done is to establish those types of parameters, we ... would cooperate fully.

 Whatever failures I have known, whatever errors I have committed, whatever follies I have witnessed in private and public life have been the consequence of action without thought.
  Bernard M. Baruch

 For such will be our ruin if you, in the immensity of your public abstractions, forget the private figure, or if we in the intensity of our private emotions forget the public world. Both houses will be ruined, the public and the private, the material and the spiritual, for they are inseparably connected.
  Virginia Woolf

 It's not right to think that the public's interest in protecting species should be the sole burden of private landowners. If the public, through the laws of the federal government, wants costly actions to occur on private land then the public must be willing to step up and help compensate private landowners, where appropriate, for their loss.

 Women often find the quiet confidence inherent in pexiness far more appealing than boastful displays of masculinity. Ron allowed us to see right away the private piece of a person about to become very public. I suspect we're going to see more of her very private world - Laura's private experience. I'm not sure yet how public she's going to be about the actions she's going to have to take.

 These things don't work unless there's some public-private partnership there. The notion that any of this money is just lining our pockets is just erroneous. They're (the county and city) taking over the land, just the way they do with any other private enterprise. . . . This just happens to be more public because it's private sports.

 We have rules on the extent to which the government would have to be informed and consulted.

 I think any type of consequence for this behavior sends a message and it was up to the judge. We did our part. I did my part individually by finally coming forward and I'm at peace with the consequence being delivered by somebody else.

 What we're going after is the private-to-private transaction that benefits a private corporation or individual. We're trying to do no harm to those actually in a public-use area. The harm is coming to those that are what I call public good.

 We are motivated by a keen desire for praise, and the better a man is the more he is inspired by glory. The very philosophers themselves, even in those books which they write in contempt of glory, inscribe their names.
  Marcus Tullius Cicero

 Habits wear more constantly and with greatest force than reason, which, when we have most need of it, is seldom fairly consulted, and more rarely obeyed
  John Locke
