3 December 2020 Jonathan Sacks Some years ago there was a study to discover the most stressful occupation. It turned out not to be the head of a large business, football manager or prime minister, but rather: bus driver.
3 December 2020 Billie Holiday I never hurt nobody but myself and that’s nobody’s business but my own.
3 December 2020 Confucius The superior man understands what is right the inferior man understands what will sell.
3 December 2020 Mitt Romney Washington has to become an ally of business, not the opposition of business.
3 December 2020 Orison Swett Marden The golden rule for every business man is this: ‘Put yourself in your customer’s place.’
3 December 2020 Harry Houdini My professional life has been a constant record of disillusion, and many things that seem wonderful to most men are the every-day commonplaces of my business.
3 December 2020 Helena Bonham Carter Most of my relationships were people in the business. Having said that, me and Tim don’t really talk that much about work. He comes into my bit of the house every so often to vent but we don’t really have very high, cultured conversations.
3 December 2020 Donny Osmond It’s a lot of work to keep reinventing yourself and coming up with new stuff, but that’s what it takes to be in show business.
3 December 2020 J. Paul Getty To succeed in business, to reach the top, an individual must know all it is possible to know about that business.
3 December 2020 Jeff Bridges Unlike a lot of actors, my father encouraged all his kids to go into show business.
3 December 2020 Curt Schilling I’ve always wanted to be the best in the world as a baseball player, so when I started to think about opening a business, it was with that mindset.
3 December 2020 Cat Stevens I was brought up in the modern world of all the luxury and the highlight of show business. I was born into a Christian home.
3 December 2020 David Suzuki Treaties, agreements and organizations to help settle disputes may be necessary, but they often favor the interests of business over citizens.
3 December 2020 Anna Chlumsky Kids are brought into show business because they are cute and see truth and they’re very bright. But there’s a sense of doing it because you want the adults to be approving of you. You want to make them happy.
3 December 2020 Carroll O'Connor Both my brothers became physicians and I, of course, wandered into a business where the undisciplined are welcome.

3 December 2020 Peter Drucker Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
3 December 2020 Joan Collins I’ve never chased fame. I came into this business to be a theatre actress. I was nine when I first appeared on stage. But I can’t say I would turn my back on fortune. I’m someone who enjoys the benefits of money.
3 December 2020 Valentino Garavani I am especially grateful that I have been able to keep my own style over the decades, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the world of fashion and in its business.
3 December 2020 John Legend I used to work for a management consulting company, so I dressed differently – business casual, probably a lot of things from Banana Republic. My wardrobe now is definitely more expensive, but I always dress for the occasion.
3 December 2020 Charlize Theron You can never get to a place of comfort in this business. As soon as you hit that little cushy spot, somebody’s gonna kick you out. So I have a constant need to do it better.
3 December 2020 Tom Hanks The nature of motion capture is only going to work for certain films. It’s not going to put any other type of movies out of business.
3 December 2020 Tony Blair My view is that you still, in order to win from the Labour perspective, have to have a strong alliance with business as well as the unions. You have got to be very much in the centre ground on things like public sector reform.
3 December 2020 David Herbert Lawrence I hate the actor and audience business. An author should be in among the crowd, kicking their shins or cheering them on to some mischief or merriment.
3 December 2020 Julia Roberts I couldn’t be an ingenue today, because the business has changed. I remember when you could dress for a premiere just by putting on a cute top. Now you have to be perfect and fabulous in every way, or you’re ridiculed.
3 December 2020 Frank Lloyd Wright Regard it as just as desirable to build a chicken house as to build a cathedral.
