Key Business Quotes from the Movies:


There's no business like show business.
-Irving Berlin



I wanted the power and the money...you wanted to go fishing.

-Sally Garner (Collen Moore) to her husband, Tom.
"The Power and the Glory," 1933


What are you running, a business or a charity ward?

-Henry Potter (Lionel Barrymore)
"It's a Wonderful Life," 1946


I can't make that meeting. My son has a Little League game.

-Don Walling (William Holden)
"Executive Suite," 1954


Money is a byproduct...What's at the end of a million? Zero, zero,
zero...nothing, with a hole in it. [No, for what it will build] A new
product's been found. A new business grows up. A factory gets built.
People who never saw a dime before suddenly have a dollar. And barefooted
kids wear shoes and have their teeth fixed and their faces washed.

-Linus Larrabee (Humphrey Bogart) to Sabrina
"Sabrina," 1954


Greed is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed will not only save
Teldar Paper, [object of his takeover attempt] but that other
malfunctioning corporation called the United States of America.

-Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) during a speech to shareholders
"Wall Street," 1987
