Creek Business

Famous quotes containing the words creek and/or business:

“It might be seen by what tenure men held the earth. The smallest stream is mediterranean sea, a smaller ocean creek within the land, where men may steer by their farm bounds and cottage lights. For my own part, but for the geographers, I should hardly have known how large a portion of our globe is water, my life has chiefly passed within so deep a cove. Yet I have sometimes ventured as far as to the mouth of my Snug Harbor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“It doesn’t make any difference to me what a man does for a living, you understand. But your business is a little dangerous.”
—Mario Puzo (b. 1920)
