Famous quotes containing the word business:
““What business is it of yours, then?”
“It’s every man’s business to see justice done.””
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“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)
“My dear Mr. District Attorney, your law is shockingly bad. I have the perfect alibi. I am legally dead. Your business is with the living.”
—Karl Brown (1897–1990)
