Minded their own business

If everybody minded their own business, the world would go around a great deal faster than it does.”

We need to think about our own affairs and not ask questions about or try to get involved in other people’s lives. Mind your own business" is a common English saying which asks for a respect of other people's privacy. It suggests that a person should stop interfering in what does not affect themselves. Contextually, it is often used in an argument or dispute as a remark to refute, reject, disregard, or discourage others' concerns or comments. Most modern theologians do not believe that the phrase "Mind your own business" is of direct biblical derivation, though something similar appears in the bible where St. Paul tells the church of Thessaloniki about this manner of living in his instructions as a way of Christian life. The Greek phrase is πράσσειν τὰ ἴδια, which translates as "manage yourself".

The first of coins, minted by the United States under The Coinage Act of 1792, display the words “Mind Your Business” on one side.
