Famous quotes containing the words law and/or business:
“Like other high subjects, the Law gives no ground to common sense.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Most of us have felt barriers between ourselves and our fathers and had thought that going it alone was part of what it meant to be a man. We tried to get close to our children when we became fathers, and yet the business of practicing masculinity kept getting in the way. We men have begun to talk about that.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
