Famous quotes containing the word business:

    “I do not claim that all women, or a large portion of them, should enter into independent business relations with the world, but I do claim that all women should cultivate and respect in themselves an ability to make money.”
    —Ellen Demarest (1824–1898)

    “We are told it will be of no use for us to ask this measure of justice—that the ballot be given to the women of our new possessions upon the same terms as to the men—because we shall not get it. It is not our business whether we are going to get it; our business is to make the demand.... Ask for the whole loaf and take what you can get.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “There’s no business like show business.”
    —Irving Berlin (1888–1989)
