Enterprise

Famous quotes containing the word enterprise:

    Everything that explains the world has in fact explained a world that does not exist, a world in which men are at the center of the human enterprise and women are at the margin “helping” them. Such a world does not exist—never has.
    Gerda Lerner (b. 1920)

    Huck was always willing to take a hand in any enterprise that offered entertainment and required no capital, for he had a troublesome superabundance of that sort of time which is not money.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    In enterprise of martial kind,
    When there was any fighting,
    He led his regiment from behind—
    He found it less exciting.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
