Fictitious Business

Famous quotes containing the words fictitious and/or business:

    It is, indeed, at home that every man must be known by those who would make a just estimate either of his virtue or felicity; for smiles and embroidery are alike occasional, and the mind is often dressed for show in painted honour, and fictitious benevolence.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    The minute you try to talk business with him he takes the attitude that he is a gentleman and a scholar, and the moment you try to approach him on the level of his moral integrity he starts to talk business.
    Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
