Image
A merchant who approaches business with the idea of serving the public well has nothing to fear from the competition.
James Cash Penney
Image
Virginia was in fact a landowning aristocracy, without nobility or merchant class, or any considerable small peasant farming class and the other Southern colonies, except North Carolina, were on the whole similar to Virginia in these respects.
Carl L. Becker
Image
I had hoped to go to law school, but the war started, and because of the strong feeling that I did not want to kill anybody, I joined the Merchant Marine when I graduated from Berkeley.
Douglass North
Image
The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.
William Shakespeare
Image
I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano A stage where every man must play a part, And mine is a sad one.
William Shakespeare
Image
The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils.
William Shakespeare
Image
Some men there are love not a gaping pig, some that are mad if they behold a cat, and others when the bagpipe sings I the nose cannot contain their urine.
William Shakespeare
Image
When he is best, he is a little worse than a man and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
William Shakespeare
Image
Is it to be expected that the Southern States will deliver themselves bound hand and foot to the Eastern States? A few rich merchants in Philadelphia, Boston, and New York could thereby monopolise the staples of the Southern States and reduce their value.
George Mason
Image
All that glisters is not gold Often have you heard that told.
William Shakespeare
Image
Affection, mistress of passion, sways it to the mood of what it likes or loathes.
William Shakespeare
Image
No wizard has ever made himself useful by magic, or, if they've tried, they've only made matters worse. No wizard ever stopped a war or mended a fence. It's better that they stay in their marshes, out of the way of worldly folk like farmers and soldiers and merchants and kings.
Kelly Link
Image
Classics which at home are drowsily read have a strange charm in a country inn, or in the transom of a merchant brig.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
There are a sort of men, whose visages Do cream and mantle, like a standing pond And do a willful stillness entertain, With purpose to be dressed in an opinion Of wisdom, gravity profound conceit As who should say, I am sir Oracle, And when I ope my lips, let no dog bark!
William Shakespeare
Image
Though justice be thy plea consider this, that in the course of justice none of us should see salvation.
William Shakespeare
Image
You take my house when you do take the prop That doth sustain my house you take my life When you do take the means whereby I live.
William Shakespeare
Image
Greediness consists in ravishing the goods of another through violence or cunning, as in the two noble professions of the conqueror and courtier. But the merchant, like all other industrious men, seeks his benefit only in his talent, in virtue of freely arrived at agreements, and appealing to faith and the laws.
Augustin Thierry
Image
The British merchants represented that they received some profit indeed from Virginia and South Carolina, as well as the West Indies but as for the rest of this continent, they were constant losers in trade.
Ezra Stiles
Image
In the Fiji islands, it appears, cannibalism is now familiar. They eat thier own wives and children. We only devour widows' houses, and great merchants outwit and absorb the substance of small ones, and every man feeds on his neighbor's labor if he can. It is a milder form of cannibalism.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Sufferance is the badge of all our tribe.
William Shakespeare
Image
Walt Disney was not a merchant of sadness.
James MacArthur
Image
Swipe fees have increased steadily since the introduction of debit cards 20 years ago, when there were no swipe fees at all. Merchants can't negotiate or control them. They've tried, but they have no leverage against the big banks and issuers. So they get ignored.
Peter Welch
Image
If any friend desire thee to be his surety, give him a part of what thou hast to spare if he press thee further, he is not thy friend at all, for friendship rather chooseth harm to itself than offereth it. If thou be bound for a stranger, thou art a fool if for a merchant, thou puttest thy estate to learn to swim.
Walter Raleigh
Image
Employers who violate rules of fairness are punished by reduced productivity, and merchants who follow unfair pricing policies can expect to lose sales.
