Famous quotes containing the word business:
“A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“I ignore all the doomsaying nonsense. I’m in a business where the odds of ever earning a living are a zillion to one, so I know it can be done. I know the impossible can become possible.”
—Marcia Wallace (b. 1942)
“O that a man might know
The end of this day’s business ere it come!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
