Business more than any other occupation
is a continual dealing with the future; it is
a continual calculation, an
instinctive exercise in foresight.
?Henry R. Luce
It is neither wealth nor splendor; but tranquillity
and occupation which give happiness.
?Thomas Jefferson
Beware of a misfit occupation. . . .
Consider carefully your natural bent,
whether for business or a profession.
?Marshall Field
Literature is an occupation in which
you have to keep proving your talent
to people who have none.
?Jules Renard
The search after the great men is the dream of youth,
and the most serious occupation of manhood.
?Ralph Waldo Emerson
Writing books is certainly a most unpleasant
occupation. It is lonesome, unsanitary,
and maddening. Many authors go crazy.
?H. L. Mencken
By rights, satire is a lonely and introspective
occupation, for nobody can describe a fool to the
life without much patient self-inspection.
?Frank Moore Colby
When occupations come to us we must
accept them; when things come to us we must
understand them from the ground up.
?Lu Yen
