Famous quotes containing the words business and/or activities:
“We are in danger ... of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
“The most remarkable aspect of the transition we are living through is not so much the passage from want to affluence as the passage from labor to leisure.... Leisure contains the future, it is the new horizon.... The prospect then is one of unremitting labor to bequeath to future generations a chance of founding a society of leisure that will overcome the demands and compulsions of productive labor so that time may be devoted to creative activities or simply to pleasure and happiness.”
—Henri Lefebvre (b. 1901)
