Famous quotes containing the word business:

    “The most sensible people to be met with in society are men of business and of the world, who argue from what they see and know, instead of spinning cobweb distinctions of what things ought to be.”
    —William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    “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)

    “Boxing is just show business with blood.”
    —Frank Bruno (b. 1961)
