Famous quotes containing the word business:

    “My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    “Our business is to have great credit and to use it little.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “Half the business is done, when one has gained the heart and the affections of those with whom one is to transact it.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
