Famous quotes containing the word business:
“It doesn’t make any difference to me what a man does for a living, you understand. But your business is a little dangerous.”
—Mario Puzo (b. 1920)
“The business of a seer is to see; and if he involves himself in the kind of God-eclipsing activities which make seeing impossible, he betrays the trust which his fellows have tacitly placed in him.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“... a business career for a woman and her need for a woman’s life as wife and mother, are not enemies at all, unless we make them so, but may be the closest and most co-operative friends and supporter of each other.”
