Acquiring Business

Famous quotes containing the words acquiring and/or business:

    If you had made the acquiring of ignorance the study of your life, you could not have graduated with higher honor than you could to-day.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    The elements of success in this business do not differ from the elements of success in any other. Competition is keen and bitter. Advertising is as large an element as in any other business, and since the usual avenues of successful exploitation are closed to the profession, the adage that the best advertisement is a pleased customer is doubly true for this business.
    Madeleine [Blair], U.S. prostitute and “madam.” Madeleine, ch. 5 (1919)
