B. C. Forbes

The man who has done his level best... is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure.
B. C. Forbes
Next to the dog, the wastebasket is your best friend.

Work is the meat of life, pleasure the dessert.
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
Our future and our fate lie in our wills more than in our hands, for our hands are but the instruments of our wills.
