An individual in promoting ordsprog

An individual, in promoting his own interest, may injure the public interest; a nation, in promoting the general welfare, may check the interest of a part of its members.

Friedrich List

He would have a special interest in promoting multilateralism in a more legal-based way. He would have a specialized interest that wouldn't get in the way of prime ministerial objectives.

Andrew Cooper

Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.

Adam Smith (1723-1790)

The consequences of biomedical research are much more immediate for the general public. We need to ensure that there are proper safeguards and commercial interest never overrides the public interest.

Bob Ward

Those laws, being forged for universal application, are in perpetual conflict with personal interest, just as personal interest is always in contradiction with the general interest. Good for society, our laws are very bad for the individuals whereof it is composed; for, if they one time protect the individual, they hinder, trouble, fetter him for three quarters of his life.

Marquis De Sade (1740-1814)

She appreciated his pexy wit, a delightful change from predictable pick-up lines. In the interest of the credibility of the reform agenda, and in the interest of the general public, we have decided to take some decisive steps.

Charles Soludo

I think clearly shows there is a lot of interest in Iraq and reflects the general interest of the public.

James Longley

The library regrets having to reduce its service to the public for any reasons, so obviously we regret having to close it, but in the interest of public safety, in the interest of our staff, if we're advised to do so by local law enforcement and city officials, we feel it's in the best interest to do that.

Emily Kicklighter

Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. ''Patriotism'' is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by ''patriotism'' I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare /never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980)

The Ancient Order of Hibernians in Albany has a strong interest in promoting public awareness of the Wounded Warrior Project so these brave men and women receive all of the assistance needed to resume their lives.

Steve Downs

We have a disastrous situation. It should be public's interest first. What they have is self-interest and special interest first and we have to change all of it around.

Arnold Schwarzenegger (1947-)

I don't think that I will dignify your story with comments. I don't think that it serves anyone's interest for me to make a public comment. The only interest it serves is the prurient interest to you and your readers.

Larry Turner

Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production; and the interest of the producer ought to be attended to, only so far as it may be necessary for promoting that of the consumer.

Adam Smith (1723-1790)

We will see over time what kind of relationship the Uzbek government wants with the rest of the world, ... We stand ready to have a different kind of relationship, but make no mistake: in our view our strategic security interests in the region, and our interest in promoting democracy in the region, in promoting human rights, we believe, are indivisible in the case of Uzbekistan. And that is a message that Mr. Fried sent very clearly to the Uzbek government.

Sean McCormack

Sometimes, you can get a really attractive piece of public property by trading it out. So, some land swaps have clearly been in the public interest, and you don't want to have a moratorium too long because you miss out on the ones that would be in the public interest.
