Come home to men's business and bosoms.
Despatch is the soul of business.
A dinner lubricates business.
O, that a man might know
The end of this day's business ere it come!
Every man has business and desire,
Such as it is.
I remember that a wise friend of mine did usually say, "That which is everybody's business is nobody's business."
Let every man mind his own business.
Petition me no petitions, sir, to-day;
Let other hours be set apart for business.
To-day it is our pleasure to be drunk;
And this our queen shall be as drunk as we.
They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters.
My business in this state
Made me a looker on here in Vienna.
Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
Like a man to double business bound,
I stand in pause where I shall first begin,
And both neglect.
I remember that a wise friend of mine did usually say, "That which is everybody's business is nobody's business."
Has this fellow no feeling of his business?
Our business in the field of fight
Is not to question, but to prove our might.
What is the first business of one who studies philosophy? To part with self-conceit. For it is impossible for any one to begin to learn what he thinks that he already knows.
Of seeming arms to make a short essay,
Then hasten to be drunk,—the business of the day.
Remote from man, with God he passed the days;
Prayer all his business, all his pleasure praise.
So ends the bloody business of the day.
Men, some to business, some to pleasure take;
But every woman is at heart a rake.
He had talents equal to business, and aspired no higher.
Talk of nothing but business, and despatch that business quickly.
To business that we love we rise betime,
And go to 't with delight.
Those that are above business.
How happy the life unembarrassed by the cares of business!
This business will never hold water.
A business with an income at its heels
Furnishes always oil for its own wheels.
