More quotes by 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
I have never seen people who could do real work except under the stimulus of encouragement and enthusiasm and the approval of the people for whom they are working.
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
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
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
Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.
B. C. Forbes
The man who is intent on making the most of his opportunities is too busy to bother about luck.
B. C. Forbes
It is when things go hardest, when life becomes most trying, that there is greatest need for having a fixed goal.
B. C. Forbes
A price has to be paid for success. Almost invariably those who have reached the summits worked harder and longer, studied and planned more assiduously, practiced more self- denial, overcame more difficulties than those of us who have not risen so far.
B. C. Forbes
Life is just an endless chain of judgements. . . . The more imperfect our judgement, the less perfect our success.
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
The truth doesn't hurt unless it ought to.
B. C. Forbes
Use life to provide something that outlasts it.
B. C. Forbes
It is only the farmer who faithfully plants seeds in the Spring, who reaps a harvest in the Autumn.
B. C. Forbes
A willing, cheerful worker, with his heart in his job, will turn out more work and more satisfactory work in 44 hours than an unwilling worker, dissatisfied with his conditions, will turn out in 54 hours. It is good business, therefore, for every employer to go as far as he possibly can in reaching a schedule agreeable to his people.
B. C. Forbes
Jealousy is an inner consciousness of one's own inferiority. It is a mental cancer.
B. C. Forbes
Opportunity rarely knocks on your door. Knock rather on opportunity's door if you ardently wish to enter.
B. C. Forbes
How you start is important, but it is how you finish that counts. In the race for success, speed is less important than stamina. The sticker outlasts the sprinter.
B. C. Forbes
A business like an automobile, has to be driven, in order to get results.
B. C. Forbes
If you do the best and the most you can today, don't worry about tomorrow.
B. C. Forbes
