I'm a private person too and we don't ever film anything in our home because it's off limits. It's like letting people see your messy house.

The house has to please everyone contrary to the work of art which does not. The work is a private matter for the artist. The house is not.

If history could teach us anything it would be that private property is inextricably linked with civilization.

World War II ended the Great Depression with one of the great public-private industrial collaborations in the history of man.

If a secret history of books could be written and the author's private thoughts and meanings noted down alongside of his story how many insipid volumes would become interesting and dull tales excite the reader!

Our system of private health insurance that fails to provide coverage to so many of our citizens also contributes to the double-digit health care inflation that is making America less competitive in the global economy.

Canada is currently the only major industrialized country in the world that does not allow any private administration of health care services that are provided by the public system.

I would prefer a public option that would be a competitive option that would allow people to buy into a Federal Employee Health Benefits Program which is a series of private plans.

What I am saying is all health care has a problem with costs. Medicare is growing slower than the private insurance plans. Why? Because of their efficiency. They don't have to give money to shareholders. Why should be defending shareholders?

Do you know what the overhead is of the Medicare system? One-point-zero-five percent. Do you know what - private insurance is 30 percent in overhead and profits? Given a choice how I'm going to improve health care I'm going to take it away from private insurance profits and overhead. Wouldn't you?

People don't trust private health insurance companies for all the right reasons.

Yes Democrats can prove that America pays more for health care than other countries yes they have won the dispute that private health insurance is needlessly expensive. But what they've lost is the argument that we are a society.

The private sector must play a role in ensuring the prosperity and health of the people who comprise its market. It is time for the private sector to become a proactive partner contributing to the efforts of governments and philanthropies.

The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens.

We have arrived at that point of time in which we are forced to see our own humiliation as a nation and that a progression in this line cannot be a productive of happiness private or public.

Feminism's agenda is basic: It asks that women not be forced to choose between public justice and private happiness.

There is no private house in which people can enjoy themselves so well as at a capital tavern... No Sir there is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn.

I have no problems with private schools. I graduated from one and so did my mother. Private schools are useful and we often use public funds to pay for their infrastructures and other common needs.

We had times in '66 and '67 when we would pick up a platoon of privates out of the receiving barracks the week before we even graduated the platoon that we were on!

Even though I disagree with many of the changes when I see the privates graduate at the end of the day when they walk off that drill field at the end of the ceremony they are still fine privates outstanding well motivated privates.

I think most people believe success in government is how many fewer people are in government not because you kick them off of benefits like unemployment but they've been able to control their own destiny because private sector employers have created more jobs.

More people on unemployment benefits is not success in America fewer people on not because we kicked them off but because they have been able to get a job in the private sector because government got out of the way.

We need the private sector to create jobs. If the government could create jobs Communism would have worked but it didn't.

The federal government now spends one of every four dollars in the entire economy. It borrows one of every three dollars it spends. No nation no entity large or small public or private can thrive or survive intact with debts as huge as ours.
