Famous quotes containing the word business:

    “Chief among our gains must be reckoned this possibility of choice, the recognition of many possible ways of life, where other civilizations have recognized only one. Where other civilizations give a satisfactory outlet to only one temperamental type, be he mystic or soldier, business man or artist, a civilization in which there are many standards offers a possibility of satisfactory adjustment to individuals of many different temperamental types, of diverse gifts and varying interests.”
    —Margaret Mead (1901–1978)

    “On the most profitable lie, the course of events presently lays a destructive tax; whilst frankness invites frankness, puts the parties on a convenient footing, and makes their business a friendship.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It is the business of the wealthy man
    To give employment to the artisan.”
    —Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)
