Famous quotes containing the words business and/or figures:
“It is the business of the wealthy man
To give employment to the artisan.”
—Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)
“But that wasn’t fancy enough for Lord Byron, oh dear me no, he had to invent a lot of figures of speech and then interpolate them,
With the result that whenever you mention Old Testament soldiers to
people they say Oh yes, they’re the ones that a lot of wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
