B. C. Forbes
A shady business never yields a sunny life.
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
Lady Luck generally woos those who earnestly, enthusiastically, unremittingly woo her.
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
The man without religion is as a ship without a rudder.
B. C. Forbes
The Christmas spirit brings home to us-or should bring home to us-the profound Biblical truth that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Anything which inspires unselfishness makes for our ennoblement. Christmas does that. I am all for Christmas.
B. C. Forbes
