Marvell/businesses

Famous quotes containing the words marvell and/or businesses:

    My mind was once the true survey
    Of all these meadows fresh and gay,
    And in the greenness of the grass
    Did see its hopes as in a glass;
    When Juliana came, and she,
    What I do to the grass, does to my thoughts and me.
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    One of the first businesses of a sensible man is to know when he is beaten, and to leave off fighting at once.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
