Famous quotes containing the word business:

    “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)

    “Taxes are the chief business of a conqueror of the world.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Our business in this world is not to succeed, but to continue to fail, in good spirits.”
    —Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–1894)
