Famous quotes containing the words business and/or law:
“This whole business of Trade gives me to pause and think, as it constitutes false relations between men; inasmuch as I am prone to count myself relieved of any responsibility to behave well and nobly to that person who I pay with money, whereas if I had not that commodity, I should be put on my good behavior in all companies, and man would be a benefactor to man, as being himself his only certificate that he had a right to those aids and services which each asked of the other.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“The first law of story-telling.... Every man is bound to leave a story better than he found it.”
—Humphrey, Mrs. Ward (18511920)
