Famous quotes containing the words masters and/or business:
“Degenerate sons and daughters,
Life is too strong for you—
It takes life to love Life.”
—Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)
“This whole business of Trade gives me to pause and think, as it constitutes false relations between men; inasmuch as I am prone to count myself relieved of any responsibility to behave well and nobly to that person who I pay with money, whereas if I had not that commodity, I should be put on my good behavior in all companies, and man would be a benefactor to man, as being himself his only certificate that he had a right to those aids and services which each asked of the other.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
