People who run a ready-to-wear company are businessmen rather than production or design people.

Calvin Klein

I've studied the lives of the 20th century's great businessmen and concluded self-confidence was instrumental in all their success.

Alex Spanos

Nothing is illegal if one hundred businessmen decide to do it.

Andrew Young

I'll get seven hours sleep a night, but after breakfast, I'll have an hour just resting, to recover. In Spain they all have siestas, even businessmen.

Anthony Joshua

Vikings were pretty brutal, but also very educated people. They were salesmen, businessmen who started raiding when business wasn't good. That's why they had such great boats.

Baltasar Kormakur

The 20th-century ulcer epidemic was a sign of good health in American people - good diet, strong acidity and healthy immune response actually make ulcers more likely. That's why businessmen eating giant T-bone steaks were prone to ulcers.

Barry Marshall

People who run a ready-to-wear company are businessmen rather than production or design people.

Calvin Klein

Here in France, I've seen some very good young designers, but they don't have this ability to be good businessmen, too. I think America gives you this.

Carine Roitfeld

The history of the last century shows, as we shall see later, that the advice given to governments by bankers, like the advice they gave to industrialists, was consistently good for bankers, but was often disastrous for governments, businessmen, and the people generally.

Carroll Quigley

I am not afraid of being sued by white businessmen. In fact, I should welcome such a law suit.

Carter G. Woodson

My father and grandfather were businessmen. The family business was Adelphi Paints in New Jersey. When the first energy crisis came in the early 1970s, the business suffered.

David Einhorn

I went to Ethiopia, and it dawned on me that you can tell a starving, malnourished person because they've got a bloated belly and a bald head. And I realized that if you come through any American airport and see businessmen running through with bloated bellies and bald heads, that's malnutrition, too.

Dick Gregory

There are professional negotiators working for the writers and the actors, but basically you've got the writers and actors negotiating against businessmen. That's why you get rhetoric.

Dick Wolf

Businessmen should not put their finger in politics, because they tend to think only of their own self-interest. But I worry about the low morale in Italian industry and the lack of government initiatives to help the poor.

Diego Della Valle

I think personality correction is necessary for successful men, like prime ministers, businessmen, politicians... it's essential that one should keep an eye on one's own personality. You must have seen people in politics who become chief ministers and then pass into oblivion - how egotistical they became and how pathetic they look.

Dilip Kumar

Actors used to concentrate on acting, but today they are businessmen, too, and think about the numbers game as well. They multi-task very well. It's admirable that they have this ability.

Dimple Kapadia

While it's a shame that more businessmen like Andy Puzder aren't helping to form America's economic policy, at least he's still on the field fighting the good fight.

Edward Conard

We often forget that Iran has a long tradition and history with the United States. Iranians have been coming to the United States as students for decades. American businessmen were in Iran developing the oil fields. ...There was an American financial advisor to the Iranian government in the early part of the century.

Elaine Sciolino

What artists think about the world is often different from how we businessmen see it, and I find that an enriching experience.

Eli Broad

What cultural revolutionaries do not seem to grasp is that, far from being a grass-roots art form that has been taken over by businessmen, rock itself comes from the commercial exploitation of the blues.

Ellen Willis

Great businessmen are creators.
