Famous quotes containing the word business:
“I only do business with the people I do business with. The people I do business with find out I do business with the people I don’t do business with.... I can’t do business with you.”
—John Guare (b. 1938)
“In my cheapest moments I am apt to think that it is n’t my business to be “seeking the spirit,” but as much its business to be seeking me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“As for your friend, my prospective reader, I hope he ignores Fort Sumter, and “Old Abe,” and all that; for that is just the most fatal, and, indeed, the only fatal weapon you can direct against evil ever; for, as long as you know of it, you are particeps criminis. What business have you, if you are an “angel of light,” to be pondering over the deeds of darkness, reading the New York Herald, and the like.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
