A Quote by John James Audubon

In America, business is the first object in view at all times, and rightly it should be so. — © John James Audubon
In America, business is the first object in view at all times, and rightly it should be so.
Business leaders should show what our political leaders seem to lack - that is, a common-sense view of the times.
Donald Trump has built a business through hard times and through good times. He's brought an extraordinary business acumen, he's employed tens of thousands of people in America.
The government being the peoples business, it necessarily follows that its operations should be at all times open to the public view. Publicity is therefore as essential to honest administration as freedom of speech is to representative government. Equal rights to all and special privileges to none is the maxim which should control in all departments of government.
Temperance is love surrendering itself wholly to Him who is its object; courage is love bearing all things gladly for the sake of Him who is its object; justice is love serving only Him who is its object, and therefore rightly ruling; prudence is love making wise distinction between what hinders and what helps itself.
We continued to build the business, even in the worst of times. We do business all over America.
All my plans in private life; all my pursuits; all my designs, wishes, and thoughts, have this one great object in view: the overthrow of the ruffian Boroughmongers. If I write grammars; if I write on agriculture; if I sow, plant, or deal in seeds; whatever I do has first in view the destruction of those infamous tyrants.
Nothing is more maddening than being questioned by the object of one's interest about the object of hers, should that object not be you.
We know, from ordinary life, that we are not able to direct our attention perfectly steadily and uniformly to one and the same object... At times the attention turns towards the object most intensely, and at times the energy flags.
Remember us in your prayers that we grow not weary in well doing. It is hard to work for years with pure motives, and all the time be looked upon by most of those to whom our lives are devoted as having some sinister object in view. Disinterested labor - benevolence - is so out of their line of thought, that many look upon us as having some ulterior object in view; but He who died for us, and Whom we ought to copy, did more for us than we can do for any one else. He endured the contradiction of sinners. We should have grace to follow in His steps.
What all emotions have in common, and what distinguishes them from bodily appetites, is a focus on an object and a view of that object as salient for one's life.
Facts mean nothing unless they are rightly understood, rightly related and rightly interpreted.
What I will do is put America first. People don't like to use that term of America first, but we're going to make America great again by putting America first.
The main purpose of life is to live rightly, think rightly, act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.
America should do a reverse Columbus. The world no longer needs to discover America; but America urgently needs to discover the world's view of America.
The business of America is not business. Neither is it war. The business of america is justice and securing the blessings of liberty.
In the music business I am surrounded by people who don't view music as a sacred voice. They view music as something that they can use and exploit, often times lazily. They have no sense of the tradition, they have no sense of honor about those who came before and charted the path.
