More quotes by B. C. Forbes

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
I resolve for 1920 to sit down all by myself and take a personal stock-taking once a month. To be no more charitable in viewing my own faults than I am an viewing the faults of others. To face the facts candidly and courageously. To address myself carefully, prayerfully, to remedying defects.

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
Are you doing the kind of work you were built for, so that you can expect to be able to do very large amounts of that kind and thrive under it? Or are you doing a kind of which you can do comparatively little.
B. C. Forbes
Money, or even power, can never yield happiness unless it be accompanied by the goodwill of others.
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
Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.
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
Some people are so methodical that that is all they are or ever will be.
B. C. Forbes
You have no idea how big the other fellow's troubles are.
B. C. Forbes
Acting without thinking is like shooting without aiming.
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

B. C. Forbes
Jealousy is an inner consciousness of one's own inferiority. It is a mental cancer.
B. C. Forbes
How many men I know who are earning dollars aplenty, but who are really earning little of what counts. They are so overwhelmingly engrossed in business that they get nothing from their dollars. The Juggernaut of dollar-making has crushed out of them every capacity for genuine enjoyment, every grace, every unselfish sentiment and instinct.
