3 December 2020 O. Henry Love and business and family and religion and art and patriotism are nothing but shadows of words when a man’s starving!
3 December 2020 Malcolm Forbes Few businessmen are capable of being in politics, they don’t understand the democratic process, they have neither the tolerance or the depth it takes. Democracy isn’t a business.
3 December 2020 Chuck Grassley My business is the enforcement of the tax laws and the integrity of the tax code and making sure that trustees of charitable giving are true trustees.

3 December 2020 Grenville Kleiser Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote for anxiety and depression. It is a business asset. It attracts and keeps friends. It lightens human burdens. It is the direct route to serenity and contentment.

3 December 2020 Scott McNealy Only a monopolist could study a business and ruin it by giving away products.
3 December 2020 David Cameron There’s another way we are getting behind business – by sorting out the banks. Taxpayers bailed you out. Now it’s time for you to repay the favour and start lending to Britain’s small businesses.
