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–?)

    “Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art.... Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.”
    —Andy Warhol (c. 1928–1987)

    “The sun was shining on the sea,
    Shining with all his might:
    He did his very best to make
    The billows smooth and bright—
    And this was odd, because it was
    The middle of the night.
    The moon was shining sulkily,
    Because she thought the sun
    Had got no business to be there
    After the day was done—
    “It’s very rude of him,” she said,
    “To come and spoil the fun!””
    —Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
