Best Quotes about Business

1.
A dinner lubricates business.
Lord William Stowell

2.

Young, Owen D.

3.

Bond, Alan

11.
If when a businessman speaks of minority employment, or air pollution, or poverty, he speaks in the language of a certified public accountant analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that he understands the human problems behind the statistical ones?

It is as simple as that -- but that isn't simple.
Lundborg, Louis B.

If a fellow wants to be a nobody in the business world, let him neglect sending the mail man to somebody on his behalf.

Handy, Charles

14.
I work in a strange business, and trust is a word that's not even in the vocabulary.
Basinger, Kim

15.
Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.
Manzi, Jim

16.
If you don't do it with excellence, don't do it at all! Because if it's not excellent, it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're not in business for fun or profit, what the hell are you doing there?
Townsend, Robert

17.
Men who do things without being told draw the most wages.
Stuart, Edwin H.

18.
Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.
Grove, Andrew

19.
