More quotes by B. C. Forbes
Use life to provide something that outlasts it.
B. C. Forbes
To get the most out of the world one must conscientiously strive to put the most into it. Life without worthy ideals becomes wholly unsatisfying, sour. If our supreme objective is to serve, no blow fate may administer can daunt us.
B. C. Forbes
...the incontestable truth is that America has been built up by optimists, not by pessimists, but by men possessing courage, confidence in the nation's destiny, by men willing to adventure, to shoulder risks terrifying to the timid.
B. C. Forbes
Our future and our fate lie in our wills more than in our hands, for our hands are but the instruments of our wills.
B. C. Forbes
There's no such thing as a self-made man. I've had much help and have found that if you are willing to work, many people are willing to help you.
B. C. Forbes
A willing, cheerful worker, with his heart in his job, will turn out more work and more satisfactory work in 44 hours than an unwilling worker, dissatisfied with his conditions, will turn out in 54 hours. It is good business, therefore, for every employer to go as far as he possibly can in reaching a schedule agreeable to his people.
B. C. Forbes
I have never seen people who could do real work except under the stimulus of encouragement and enthusiasm and the approval of the people for whom they are working.
B. C. Forbes

B. C. Forbes
The man who is intent on making the most of his opportunities is too busy to bother about luck.
B. C. Forbes
Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.
B. C. Forbes
How we love to blame others for our misfortunes! Almost every individual who has lost money in stock speculation has on the tip of his tongue an explanation which he trots out to show that it wasn't his own fault at all.... Hardly one loser has the manliness to say frankly, I was wrong.
B. C. Forbes
If a pig could pray, it would pray for swill. What do you pray for?
B. C. Forbes
A business like an automobile, has to be driven, in order to get results.
B. C. Forbes
You have no idea how big the other fellow's troubles are.
B. C. Forbes
Turn resolutely to work, to recreation, or in any case to physical exercise till you are so tired you can't help going to sleep, and when you wake up you won't want to worry.
B. C. Forbes
To make headway, improve your head.
B. C. Forbes
It's so much easier to do good than to be good.
B. C. Forbes
There is no fun equal to the satisfaction of doing one's best. The things that are most worthwhile in life are really those within the reach of almost every normal human being who cares to seek them out.
B. C. Forbes
The man who is cocksure that he has arrived is ready for the return journey.
B. C. Forbes
