I don't take investment advice from wealth managers. I have grown several businesses from scratch and amassed many millions from my publishing empire - why would I take advice from someone who has never experienced that?

More quotes by Felix Dennis
Making money is certainly the one addiction I cannot shake.
Felix Dennis
Discourse has ended in America. It's all just shouting and ranting and demonization. Do you know how the rest of the world laughs at you guys? Have you got any idea? They're just rocking with laughter night and day.
Felix Dennis
The beginnings of a forest is one of the ugliest things on the planet. It's bleak and your neighbours hate you.
Felix Dennis
Sometimes, to ensure that a talented individual will work for you, or will stay working with you, you need to be flexible. Money is not always the great motivator here. Talented people want a good salary, of course, but surprisingly often they are more attracted to new opportunities and challenges.
Felix Dennis
Whatever qualities the rich may have, they can be acquired by anyone with the tenacity to become rich.
Felix Dennis
I think having a great idea is vastly overrated. I know it sounds kind of crazy and counterintuitive. I don't think it matters what the idea is, almost. You need great execution.
Felix Dennis
Poetry forces a writer to condense and crystallise his thoughts and often represents a short cut to truths unsuspected by the author himself.
Felix Dennis
Native trees are so important to our ecosystem.
Felix Dennis
I only buy a computer when it's two years old, after the glitches have been worked out.
Felix Dennis
I want to prove that if you write in strict meter and rhyme about subjects people care about, they will buy poetry.
Felix Dennis
With a poetry book I can send 100 copies out to reviewers and other people, and even do it in advance and get their response. It's difficult with iPad: how do you send it out for free, and how do you even disseminate it before it goes into their store?
Felix Dennis
Knowing isn't doing doing isn't knowing. Nothing but the knowing and the doing gets it done.
Felix Dennis
No poetry that I'm aware of, however bad or glorious, has ever left somebody a worse person than they were before they read it.
Felix Dennis
Rich people always have a certain degree of debt. Apparently it helps to reduce taxes. I'm not so hot on the bean-counting side.
Felix Dennis
It's kind of a crazy thing to decide that you're going to be worth tens and tens and tens of millions of dollars and set out to do that. It doesn't suit everybody.
Felix Dennis
You shouldn't go around the world behaving ruthlessly when you don't have to. Sometimes you do have to. There is only so much pie to go around. If you're going to take more than your fair share of pie, as socialists would look at it, then someone else is not getting his. That means you've got to take it away from them.
Felix Dennis
If you are unwilling to fail, sometimes publicly and even catastrophically, you will never be rich.
Felix Dennis
Human beings are definitely changing the planet, but how much impact they are having on climate, I don't know and I don't care.
Felix Dennis
You have to persuade yourself that you absolutely don't care what happens. If you don't care, you've won. I absolutely promise you, in every serious negotiation, the man or woman who doesn't care is going to win.
Felix Dennis
America is an empire. I hope you know that now. All empires, by definition, are bumbling, shambolic, bullying, bureaucratic affairs, as certain of the rightness of their cause in infancy, as they are corrupted by power in their dotage.
