Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or purposes:

    From a commercial point of view, if Christmas did not exist it would be necessary to invent it.
    Katharine Whitehorn (b. 1926)

    So shall you hear
    Of carnal, bloody, and unnatural acts,
    Of accidental judgments, casual slaughters,
    Of deaths put on by cunning and forced cause,
    And in this upshot, purposes mistook
    Fallen on th’inventors’ heads.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
