Famous quotes containing the word business:

    “I am firmly opposed to the government entering into any business the major purpose of which is competition with our citizens ... for the Federal Government deliberately to go out to build up and expand ... a power and manufacturing business is to break down the initiative and enterprise of the American people; it is the destruction of equality of opportunity amongst our people, it is the negation of the ideals upon which our civilization has been based.”
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    “If we decide to take this level of business creating ability nationwide, we’ll all be plucking chickens for a living.”
    —H. Ross Perot (b. 1930)

    “After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
