More quotes by 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.

When I was young I wanted to be the greatest blues singer of all time. I wrecked my education and left home for it.
Felix Dennis
Having a great idea is simply not enough. The eventual goal is vastly more important than any idea. It is how ideas are implemented that counts in the long run
Felix Dennis
Say to yourself: The world is full of money. Some of it has my name on it. All I have to do is collect it.
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.

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.

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 belief that you have a great idea is not worth cuckoo spit. Ideas are ten a penny while the ability to execute counts for a great deal more.
Felix Dennis
You'll never get rich by working for your boss.
Felix Dennis
The key to successful business is self belief and application.
Felix Dennis
I thoroughly object to getting old. If you could let me be 16 again, I'd give you everything I've got and everything I'll ever have.
Felix Dennis
I love the business of business I love the risk raking.
Felix Dennis
With the greatest of respect, I have watched Apple from the day it started. I was publishing magazines about the Apple II before most people had ever heard what a personal computer was.
Felix Dennis
Publishing magazines for yourself is not good business, man.
Felix Dennis
Whatever qualities the rich may have, they can be acquired by anyone with the tenacity to become rich.
Felix Dennis
'The Week' is my favourite magazine. Everyone from presidents to CEOs of companies love it, politicians, people in the massive charity business in America, in the arts and even more especially in the media.
Felix Dennis
I have been portrayed by actors in three television documentaries, two plays, one musical and a film. It's no fun watching yourself being traduced and imitated by an actor.
