More quotes by B. C. Forbes
Use life to provide something that outlasts it.
B. C. Forbes
Success is sweetest to one who has known failure.
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
Without self-respect there can be no genuine success. Success won at the cost of self-respect is not success ? for what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own self-respect.
B. C. Forbes
The human being who lives only for himself finally reaps nothing but unhappiness. Selfishness corrodes. Unselfishness ennobles, satisfies.
B. C. Forbes
Any business arrangement that is not profitable to the other fellow will in the end prove unprofitable for you. The bargain that yields mutual satisfaction is the only one that is apt to be repeated.

In the race for success, speed is less important than stamina.
B. C. Forbes
The most profitless things to manufacture are excuses.
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
Think not of yourself as the architect of your career but as the sculptor. Expect to have to do a lot of hard hammering and chiselingand scraping and polishing.
B. C. Forbes
The men who have done big things are those who were not afraid to attempt big things, who were not afraid to risk failure in order to gain success.
B. C. Forbes
He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.
B. C. Forbes
A shady business never yields a sunny life.
B. C. Forbes
Some people are so methodical that that is all they are or ever will be.
B. C. Forbes
Backboneless employees are too ready to attribute the success of others to luck. Luck is usually the fruit of intelligent application. The man who is intent on making the most of his opportunities is too busy to bother about luck.
B. C. Forbes
The person who renders loyal service in a humble capacity will be chosen for higher responsibilities, just as the biblical servant who multiplied the one pound given him by his master was made ruler over ten cities.
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
Difficulties should act as a tonic. They should spur us to greater exertion.
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!
