Famous quotes containing the word business:

    “The ways in which most men get their living, that is, live, are mere makeshifts, and a shirking of the real business of life,—chiefly because they do not know, but partly because they do not mean, any better.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Actually, if my business was legitimate, I would deduct a substantial percentage for depreciation of my body.
    Contemplative and bookish men must of necessitie be more quarrelsome than others, because they contend not about matter of fact, nor can determine their controversies by any certain witnesses, nor judges. But as long as they goe towards peace, that is Truth, it is no matter which way.”
    —John Donne (c. 1572–1631)

    “Mily: You must remember me!?
    Tadeusz: I never remember pretty women. It’s so expensive.
    My friend, after twenty thousand years murder is still a business that’s mainly in the hands of amateurs.”
    —Orson Welles (1915–1985)
