Famous quotes containing the word business:

    “In the greatest confusion there is still an open channel to the soul. It may be difficult to find because by midlife it is overgrown, and some of the wildest thickets that surround it grow out of what we describe as our education. But the channel is always there, and it is our business to keep it open, to have access to the deepest part of ourselves.”
    —Saul Bellow (b. 1915)

    “Method goes far to prevent trouble in business: for it makes the task easy, hinders confusion, saves abundance of time, and instructs those that have business depending, both what to do and what to hope.”
    —William Penn (1644–1718)

    “Do not craze yourself with thinking, but go about your business anywhere.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
