The owners have the right to pay you whatever they want to. They don’t have to pay you if they don’t want to.
22
Business owners are responsible for themselves.
23
Every day, the humane societies execute thousands of dogs who tried all their lives to do their very best by their owners. These dogs are killed not because they are bad but because they are inconvenient. So as we need God more than he needs us, dogs need us more than we need them, and they know it.

In fact, an awful lot of N.F.L. club owners have practically no influence on their players at all, simply because they’re not full-time working owners.

Like all small-business owners, I know what it’s like to take a risk on an idea, manage cash flow, navigate regulations and tax laws, and create jobs.

43
The vast majority of small business owners want nothing to do with figuring out a website. They are neck-deep in their business trying to keep it going.
44
We are the millions and millions of Americans who take responsibility for our own safety and protection of our children as a God-given right. We are proud to exercise that right, are not ashamed of it and deserve nothing less than absolute respect and admiration as lawful gun owners.

When I say, ‘doin’ it, doin’ it, doin’ it’ to a group of small business owners, they immediately respond. They recognize the experience of doing the same things over and over. Keeping the business afloat without ever getting ahead. And it’s more than frustrating – it’s heartbreaking.
50
51
Oftentimes, small business owners are unable to obtain reasonably priced financing and instead turn to higher priced forms of capital, such as credit cards.

You know there are so many people that have touched your life both on the ice and within your career in the NHL whether it be owners, GM’s, coaches, players, trainers, all the way down. And that doesn’t even account for all of the people that you encountered outside of the game that you met along this trip, too.
60
Raising the minimum wage represents a substantial financial burden for employers, particularly start-ups, early stage companies, and family-owned businesses. In response, business owners would be forced to either lay off workers or raise prices to offset the rise in labor costs.
61
62
Our experience in Hawaii has shown that we can place common sense limits on gun sales, demonstrate our respect for gun owners, and, most importantly, help ensure the safety of our residents.

65
Many foreign property owners work in the City of London and are encouraged to bring their expertise and earning power to this country because of the favourable capital tax environment. Attacking their property profit may encourage some to leave, but it would certainly deter others from coming in the first place.
66
The IP system is an artificial construct that excessively rewards owners of intellectual property, granting them monopolies over inventions and ideas that, in many cases, are the product of generations of thinkers and/or publicly funded research.
67
68
Tech executives have historically been owners of significant portions of their companies’ stock so there is a propensity for them to diversify as a rule.

There are hundreds of millions of gun owners in this country, and not one of them will have an accident today. The only misuse of guns comes in environments where there are drugs, alcohol, bad parents, and undisciplined children. Period.
75
76
77
The Obama administration is not helping small businesses create jobs. In fact, it is responsible for the regulatory uncertainty nearly 50 percent of small-business owners cite as responsible for their lack of hiring.
78
The money’s there in England. They try to gather the best players. We do it differently here at Bayern. We have no investors, no owners.
79
Too many bar owners built a bar for themselves… when they should have built what their market and demographic demands!
80
All I can think is that the owners of Chick-Fil-A have decided they have had enough, that they’re just going to focus on selling chicken sandwiches to as many people as they can, and they figure that keeping their views about marriage to themselves is better than having a bunch of angry activists on your doorstep.
81
82
83
84
I like to tell small business owners and entrepreneurs, ‘I get it. I have your back on this. I understand about regulation. I understand how taxes are taxing. I understand what it is like not to be able to borrow money when you need it.’
85
86
87
I certainly respect the belief of the Hobby Lobby owners. On the other hand, they have no constitutional right to foist that belief on the hundreds and hundreds of women who work for them who don’t share that belief.
88
For years, I’ve gone on television and made the case for the Second Amendment – the right to bear arms. I’ve pointed out that criminals don’t follow gun laws, and I’ve defended the NRA and its members – law-abiding gun owners like me who have nothing to do with mass shootings or violent gun crimes.
89
There are lots of concerns facing English football but for me the major one is the way in which football clubs are run by owners, whether they are growing organically and sustainably and how that is being policed by the football authorities.
90
Making improvements to our background check system and cracking down on illegal gun trafficking are common-sense ways to prevent violence without punishing law abiding gun owners. We owe it to the American people to take real action to reduce gun violence in our communities.
91

I think the model of the Championship should be reconsidered, because the turnover of owners, keep changing all the time every one, two, three years, is not really healthy system for the fans, for the clubs – this is because it is really not sustainable to stay in the Championship.
97
I would like to thank all of the owners, John Richards specifically, I think he is the main man who kept me on Prince Of Penzance, maybe a few of them who wanted to take me off.
98
When we stop running up huge budget deficits and start acting responsibly in Washington, we will provide small-business owners with the certainty they need to put Americans back to work.

102
As I learn more and more about the six-year extension of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, it’s obvious to me that NFL owners understood that they were going to get a new deal done at all costs.
103
Dog parks can be a fantastic way to socialize your dog, but it’s important for owners to understand that a dog park isn’t exercise and isn’t a substitute for walk. A visit to the dog park is fun – play time.
104
The only choice that leads small business owners to real success in their endeavors is the one that requires real thought. Understanding and building the systems they need within their company to afford them a framework of organization that can scale the business from a company of one to a company of one thousand.
105
106
Ninety-nine point nine percent of the people that are gun owners are very responsible.
107
108
Before Booker T. Washington, we have small business owners but we do not have a philosopher of black entrepreneurship, and that’s what Washington was.
109
110
It’s called show business for a reason. The theater owners want to make money, and understandably so.

In 1688, Edward Lloyd opened a coffeehouse on London’s seafront popular among underwriters, men in powdered wigs with mathematical minds and steely constitutions who offered to compensate owners if their boats were lost at sea.
116
The business side of football makes it seem as though the owners are now more important than the fans.
117
Most of our players come from the Championship; Chelsea can get more or less anyone from around the world. Some clubs in this division have owners who say it doesn’t matter what they spend. I don’t know what happened to Financial Fair Play but it didn’t exactly level the playing field.
118

121
It’s not good if owners of sports teams are talking to sports journalists, bypassing the manager. That goes in the wrong direction wherever it happens. Therefore, I’ll refrain from doing this at all.
122
The marketplace can handle this. The laws are there. The courts have shown a consistent ability to find a balance between copyright owners and copyright users.
123
The vast majority of gun owners don’t kill, but people who do kill, tend to kill with guns, and often with illegal guns.
124
125
For the conservatives, Lula is seen as someone who constantly seeks demarcation and even rupture. For the Left, however, Lula is always seen as someone who conciliates, as he acknowledges the role of owners in improving the conditions of workers.
126
Since the 1920s, when some U.S. cruise ships decided to fly a Panamanian flag to avoid Prohibition regulations, ships have commonly flown the flag of countries foreign to their owners. The benefits are obvious: lower taxes, laxer labor and safety laws.
127
128
I believe that restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners will not prevent a deranged individual or criminal from obtaining and misusing firearms to commit violence.
129
Statistics on the dangers guns pose to the health of their owners and those who live with them suggest that I’d be safer selling my guns than reserving them for ‘Tombstone II.’
130
131
132
Our economics are not baseball’s economics. Our game is not baseball’s game. Our owners are not baseball’s owners, with one or two exceptions. Our union is not baseball’s union. What we do has to be crafted and suited to address hockey, to address the NHL, to address our 30 teams and our 700-plus players.
133
I don’t think NRA members are bad people at all. I think they’re responsible gun owners that want to become politically active and make their voices heard in this democracy.
134
A company is not accountable just to its owners, but to its workers and its customers.
135
The Paycheck Protection Program has been vital to helping our small businesses and workers weather the coronavirus pandemic. Yet this program has operated with little oversight, and we’ve seen Kansas small businesses owners struggle to access relief while large corporations with deep pockets have no problem.
136
Local companies don’t have to internalize their costs, and few actually do, but they tend to more often because the owners live there and they have to show their face in town, and their kids play with other kids.
137
With the permanent elimination of this tax, farmers and business owners will have the sense of security they need to plan for the financial future of their business or farm and their family.
138
If we choose to keep those tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires, if we choose to keep a tax break for corporate jet owners, if we choose to keep tax breaks for oil and gas companies that are making hundreds of billions of dollars, then that means we’ve got to cut some kids off from getting a college scholarship.
139
140
The facility of obtaining food is beneficial in two ways to the owners of capital, it at the same time raises profits and increases the amount of consumable commodities.
141
In the Premier League you get the feeling they give you a bit longer to sort out problems. They are more understanding and, most importantly, owners of football clubs don’t think they know more than managers.
142
I’ve been in this league a long time. The league’s not perfect. But I’m definitely proud of a lot of my teammates, coaches, trainers, owners.
143
A 2001 survey of business owners with MBAs conducted by the Rochester Institute of Technology found that money was the primary motivator for only 29% of women, versus 76% of men. Women prioritized flexibility, fulfillment, autonomy and safety.
144
145
I have to make a lot of decisions that aren’t in the best interests of individuals, whether they be owners, club executives, players.
146
147
States should pass laws making it illegal to own or trade wild animals; the phony ‘educational‘ permits that many private owners have used to skirt those laws should be eliminated.
148
149
I should be getting photographs of me with my arm around these people like restaurant owners do, because eventually I am going to have to prove to my kids that once I was an actor!
150
151
We take responsibility for being firearm owners. We take responsibility for whose hands those guns get into.
152
153
While winning may not always personify the Big Apple, attitude certainly does. Players get called to the carpet. So do coaches, managers, executives, owners, and anyone associated with them. No one is safe.
154
Millions and millions of people are proud gun owners, and they do it responsibly and by the law.
155
156
The most successful entrepreneurs tell you they have a great team. Lots of small-business owners let ego get in the way. Many people helped me along the way. You’ve got to remember the people who were loyal to you, and don’t forget them when you become successful.
157
I’m a capitalist but one who is smallist and localist, and who favours businesses where owners are still in charge.
158
Journalists should think of themselves as outside the Establishment, and owners can’t be too worried about what they’re told at their country clubs.
159
160
161
162
As more wealth and political power is amassed – as bitcoins rise in value – Congress and various lobbying groups will be influenced to an ever greater extent by the interests of Bitcoin owners who – in turn – will lobby to keep the Internet and Bitcoin alive and growing.
163
We need to repeal and replace Dodd-Frank. We need to make America fair again for all businesses, but especially those being run by small business owners.
164
165
166
167
The Internet, as the most open free-speech institution in history, has become a major factor in gun owners’ ability to achieve success in preserving and protecting the Second Amendment.
168
I studied about the internment of Japanese Americans during the Second World War and about how the Constitution was written by men, many of whom were slave owners. So I suppose the travel ban strikes me as coming from an era I thought we’d left behind, but I guess we haven‘t entirely left it behind.
169
170
I grew up in a conservative household, my parents were small business owners, so it really just was kind of part of who we were.
171
Our regional infrastructure deficiencies are problems that everyone – taxpayers, commuters, workers, business owners – experience every day.
172
173

174
My husband and I are small business owners.
175
176
177
We have seen amazing, creative and interactive pictures from camera owners, and I’m looking forward to the Lytro camera being available in Australia.
178
In ‘Underground,’ you have to write for everyone, even the bad guys. People need to laugh and love and have voices and do bad things. Even slave owners need to be people.
179
It’s time to level the playing field for small business owners and give them the same health care choices that large corporations have. Because they don’t have as many employees, they have little ability to negotiate lower rates.
180
181
Growing our economy means supporting our small businesses, and one straightforward way to do this is to help business owners with the cost of health insurance for their workers.
182
All of us in the Ball family in South Carolina, from the time we’re children, hear stories about our ancestors, the slave owners.
183
Owners and chairmen prefer to buy in talent as investments against relegation at one end of the table, or to attain the holy grail of European football at the top end.
184
185
186
Like a lot of business owners out there, I don’t desire to face the continual flogging from government regulators who push burdensome and confusing state tax and employment laws on the business. It creates an unnecessary risk when, as an owner, I can just take it offshore.
187
188
189
190
191
We can’t leave small business owners to fend for themselves.
192
193
We need to transform our rural areas, restore the land to its rightful owners, and significantly grow our agricultural output.
194
195
Black business owners throughout America too often face bigger barriers to accessing capital.
196
It is a business. I know we, as athletes and owners and people involved with the NBA, never want to say that it’s a business and things like that. It is a business.
197
Small business owners are fighting every day to create and innovate, but continue to face government barriers to job creation.
198
199
200
It’s not law-abiding gun owners that are the problem here – it’s Islamic terrorists.
201
202
I don’t believe gun owners have rights.
203
204
It is quite clear that compelling content, which is made available on economic terms that respect the intellectual rights of owners, can be a tremendous spur to the growth of broadband networks.
205
206
The introduction of new technology is always disruptive to existing markets, particularly to content/copyright owners who sell through well-established distribution channels.
207
208
209
210
211
My forebears refused to cut the sugar cane for plantation owners, and I am recognisably a product of that background.
212
213
I want Americans to realize that we are the owners of this country, and that one person can make a difference.
214
Every time guns fall into the wrong hands and are used to intimidate, injure, or murder women, it erodes the rights of responsible gun owners everywhere.
215
Without sulfites, wine may smell and taste funky or re-ferment in the bottle. Many distributors and shop owners are consequently reluctant to stock wines made without sulfites.
216
I have heard firsthand from several small business owners about their struggle to borrow and their fear of taking on additional debt.
217
Tax cuts continue to benefit families, seniors, and small business owners, as evidenced by unparalleled economic growth in Nevada and across the country.
218
For significant job creation to occur, prospective entrepreneurs and current business owners must not fear the future or be under assault from their own government in the present.
219
Writers are stewards of the culture. Publishers, librarians, bookstore owners. We’re all in this together. To write books that are gripping, important, that people want to have, is to keep publishing alive.
220
Rather than saying that the commissioner is hired by the owners and therefore is subservient to them, you have to look at whether or not the players are getting a fair shake.
221
222
David Cameron‘s government criminalised squatting in empty homes. This too was previously a civil matter. Thousands of homeless people found themselves on the wrong side of the law. Some have been imprisoned for using property abandoned by its owners.
223
224
Theatre owners cannot threaten actors with defamation cases and take them to court or seek compensation for losses incurred.
225
The common class of mankind are actuated by no nobler principle than that of self-interest; this and this alone determines all adventurers in privateers: the owners, as well as those whom they employ.
226
This was a dairy cow, and dairy cows have IDs on them. The ID was traced back to the farm in Washington. It’s a dairy farm. And that farm now has been quarantined, and the owners have been very cooperative in doing that.
227
I own all the characters I created, thanks to the Writers Guild, so nobody can do anything without me. The way it works is: If the copyright owners instigate a project, like the movie, then I get a fee as creator. If I instigate a project, like the musical, I pay a percentage to the copyright owners.
228
It’s not just organizing that demands affordable and fast mobile internet access. Small business owners depend on equal and fair online access for their livelihoods.
229
Freedom was the desire of our people throughout centuries. Freedom enabled our people to be owners of their destiny.
230
At a time when the United States is handing out tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, corporate jet owners, and millionaires and billionaires, it is ludicrous that we would even be looking at Social Security and Medicare as a solution to our debt crisis.
