B. C. Forbes
Mediocre men wait for opportunity to come to them. Strong, able, alert men go after opportunity.
B. C. Forbes
The man who is cocksure that he has arrived is ready for the return journey.
B. C. Forbes
Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.
B. C. Forbes
The human being who lives only for himself finally reaps nothing but unhappiness. Selfishness corrodes. Unselfishness ennobles, satisfies.
B. C. Forbes
Next to the dog, the wastebasket is your best friend.
B. C. Forbes

B. C. Forbes
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
