No profession, trade, or calling, is overcrowded in the upper story.
P. T. Barnum
Politeness and civility are the best capital ever invested in business. Large stores, gilt signs, flaming advertisements, will all prove unavailing if you or your employees treat your patrons abruptly.

P. T. Barnum
Politics and government are certainly among the most important of practical human interests.
