“Who could deny that privacy is a jewel? It has always been the mark of privilege, the distinguishing feature of a truly urbane culture. Out of the cave, the tribal teepee, the pueblo, the community fortress, man emerged to build himself a house of his own with a shelter in it for himself and his diversions. Every age has seen it so. The poor might have to huddle together in cities for need's sake, and the frontiersman cling to his neighbors for the sake of protection. But in each civilization, as it advanced, those who could afford it chose the luxury of a withdrawing-place.”
Phyllis McGinley
“Access to the Vedas is the greatest privilege this century may claim over all previous centuries.”
J. Robert Oppenheimer
“Being my friend earns you two privileges. I'd kill for you, and I'd die for you.”
Dedrick D. L. Pitter
“Life is a gift, and it offers us the privilege, opportunity, and responsibility to give something back by becoming more”
Anthony Robbins
“Leadership is a privilege to better the lives of others. It is not an opportunity to satisfy personal greed.”
Mwai Kibaki
“I always felt that the great high privilege, relief and comfort of friendship was that one had to explain nothing.”
Katherine Mansfield
“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
Marcus Aurelius
