Business people - Your business - is your greatest prejudice: it ties you to your locality, to the company you keep, to the inclinations you feel. Diligent in business - but indolent in spirit, content with your inadequacy, and with the cloak of duty hung over this contentment: that is how you live, that is how you want your children to live! Friedrich Nietzsche
About This Quote

This quotation by Friedrich Nietzsche, describes the state of mind of those who, despite their knowledge and experience, do not want to change the way society works. They think that business is their greatest prejudice and they cannot see any other way out. This leads to the decline of contemporary society and leads to a decline in quality. This quote is very true today as we look at our daily lives and we see many people who just want to live their life without changing anything.
