Famous quotes containing the word business:
“Never joke at funerals, or during business transactions.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“I ignore all the doomsaying nonsense. I’m in a business where the odds of ever earning a living are a zillion to one, so I know it can be done. I know the impossible can become possible.”
—Marcia Wallace (b. 1942)
“The whole business of your life overwhelms you when you live alone. One’s stupefied by it. To get rid of it you try to daub some of it off on to people who come to see you, and they hate that. To be alone trains one for death.”
—Louis-Ferdinand Céline (1894–1961)
