Michel De MontaigneRead
The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God!

Charles SpurgeonRead

George Bernard ShawRead
The Reichswirtschaftsministerium ('Reich Ministry of Economic Affairs') tells the shop managers what and how to produce, at what prices and from whom to buy, at what prices and to whom to sell.
