Famous quotes containing the words business and and/or business:

    “I think that New York is not the cultural center of America, but the business and administrative center of American culture.”
    —Saul Bellow (b. 1915)

    “It is indolence ... indolence and love of ease; a want of all laudable ambition, of taste for good company, or of inclination to take the trouble of being agreeable, which make men clergymen. A clergyman has nothing to do but be slovenly and selfish; read the newspaper, watch the weather, and quarrel with his wife. His curate does all the work and the business of his own life is to dine.”
    —Jane Austen (1775–1817)
