Famous quotes containing the word business:
“Dishonesty in government is the business of every citizen.... It is not enough to do your own job. There’s no particular virtue in that. Democracy isn’t a gift. It’s a responsibility.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“Perpetual devotion to what a man calls his business is only to be sustained by neglect of many other things.”
—Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
“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)
