What are dealings?

Famous quotes containing the word dealings:

    This is the only panacea. I mean sincerity in our dealings with ourselves mainly; any other is comparatively easy.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    It is ... axiomatic that we should all think of ourselves as being more sensitive than other people because, when we are insensitive in our dealings with others, we cannot be aware of it at the time: conscious insensitivity is a self-contradiction.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    To have the fear of God before our eyes, and, in our mutual dealings with each other, to govern our actions by the eternal measures of right and wrong:MThe first of these will comprehend the duties of religion;Mthe second, those of morality, which are so inseparably connected together, that you cannot divide these two tables ... without breaking and mutually destroying them both.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
