"As a small businessperson, you have no greater leverage than the truth." ― John Greenleaf Whittier Topic(s): Business More From John Greenleaf Whittier "Give fools their gold, and knaves their power; let fortune’s bubbles rise and fall; who sows a field, or trains a flower, or plants a tree, is more than all." "When faith is lost, when honor dies, the man is dead." "The smile of God is victory." More In Business "I am interested in a lot of things – not just show business and my passion for animals. I try to keep current in what’s going on in the world. I do mental exercises. I don’t have any trouble memorizing lines because of the crossword puzzles I do every day to keep my mind a little limber. I don’t sit and vegetate."― Betty White "I have several writer friends, but I don’t involve them in my work process. I’m more likely to talk about the business of publishing with them."― Jodi Picoult "No dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business."― Mikhail Baryshnikov
