Abraham Lincoln
Politics is not a game. It is an earnest business.
Winston Churchill
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.
Abraham Lincoln
When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.

Mark Twain
The first mistake in public business is the going into it.

Benjamin Franklin
I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
William Blake
