Famous quotes containing the word business:

    “I have said many times, and it is literally true, that there is absolutely nothing that could keep me in business, if my job were simply business to me. The human problems which I deal with every day—concerning employees as well as customers—are the problems that fascinate me, that seem important to me.”
    —Hortense Odlum (1892–?)

    “We are told it will be of no use for us to ask this measure of justice—that the ballot be given to the women of our new possessions upon the same terms as to the men—because we shall not get it. It is not our business whether we are going to get it; our business is to make the demand.... Ask for the whole loaf and take what you can get.”
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    “Our business being to colonize the country, there was only one way to do it—by spreading over it all the associations and connections of family life.”
    —Henry Parkes (1815–1896)
