The man who is cocksure that he has arrived is ready for the return journey.
B. C. Forbes
Many of the most successful men I have known have never grown up. Youthfulness of spirit is the twin brother of optimism... Resist growing up!
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
Don't forget until too late that the business of life is not business but living.
