B. C. Forbes
The man without religion is as a ship without a rudder.
B. C. Forbes
To succeed, we must have the will to succeed, we must have stamina, determination, backbone, perseverance, self-reliance, and faith.
B. C. Forbes
No man can fight his way to the top and stay at the top without exercising the fullest measure of grit, courage, determination, resolution.
B. C. Forbes
A nation's economic salvation does not lie in the amount of money its rich inhabitants can squander recklessly. A nation's economic salvation lies in the amount of money its inhabitants can save and invest after providing themselves with all the necessaries and all the reasonable comforts of life.
B. C. Forbes
Some people are so methodical that that is all they are or ever will be.
B. C. Forbes
