Famous quotes containing the words business and/or people:
“Every American travelling in England gets his own individual sport out of the toy passenger and freight trains and the tiny locomotives, with their faint, indignant, tiny whistle.

—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“After all, when you come right down to it, how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language?”
