Quote by Calvin Coolidge

No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to some great need, it performs some great service, not for itself, but for others; or failing therein, it ceases to be profitable and ceases to exist.

No enterprise can exist for itself alone. It ministers to so

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of purpose and service in any enterprise. It suggests that a successful and sustainable business cannot solely focus on its own gains or profits. Rather, its purpose should be rooted in fulfilling a need or providing a valuable service to others. By prioritizing the needs of others and offering a solution or benefit, the enterprise can thrive. However, if it fails to meet this objective, it will ultimately become unprofitable and will cease to exist.
