Pastoral Resources

We are in danger of making our cities places where business goes on but where life, in its real sense, is lost.

Most of my contemporaries at school entered the World of Business, the logical destiny of bores.

Fertile soil, level plains, easy passage across the mountains, coal, iron, and other metals imbedded in the rocks, and a stimulating climate, all shower their blessings upon man.

We have lost that which has made us great over the generations, and that is the sense of individual and personal responsibility that we can come up, we can pursue our dreams and our aspirations and we won't be blocked by government regulation, by the inability to get a loan as a small business to make our dreams come true.

The rest of the world cares about how we conduct our affairs because they then take that lead. We're the only leader in the world today. Some are wishing us well, others think that we're down and are not going to get back up again, but they are all watching with great interest to see how we conduct our business over the next couple of years.

I was criticized at some level within the Republican Party by those who say government should not be in the economic development business at all. My response is that the only country I know that doesn't have an economic development plan is Papa New Guinea.

There is nothing false or arrogant about German pride in German technical and business skills.

If I would be in this business for business, I wouldn't be in this business.

It's a funny thing, the less people have to live for, the less nerve they have to risk losing nothing.

It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.

Pretending to be other people is my game and that to me is the essence of the whole business of acting.

It's an immensely competitive business, and I can tell you the older you get, the parts are fewer, and the people who are proven performers are greater.

But then, you know, I'm very happy, I've got to this stage in my life and I'm not dead. I haven't got married and divorced and done all that palimony business, you know all that mess.

The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.

They thought that I did conceive there was a difference between them and Mr. Cotton... I might say they might preach a covenant of works as did the apostles, but to preach a covenant of works and to be under a covenant of works is another business.

More than 50% of significant new regulations that impact on business in the UK now emanate from the EU.

And, in the past, it has been all too easy for legislators to load costs onto business in order to meet broader social goals. And costs for business means costs for consumers.

Road testing the effects of regulation on European business must become second nature to the European Union.

Here in the UK the government has decided to accept the recommendations of the Better Regulation Task Force to measure and make targeted reductions in the administrative costs - the red tape costs - that regulations impose on business.

I'm afraid of losing my obscurity. Genuineness only thrives in the dark. Like celery.
