Malcolm Forbes quotes about
Few businessmen are capable of being in politics, they don't understand the democratic process, they have neither the tolerance or the depth it takes. Democracy isn't a business.
It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about the problem.
Diversity: the art of thinking independently together.
Since you have to do the things you have to do, be wise enough to do some of the things you want to do.
There are a handful of companies who understand all successful business operations come down to three basic principles; People---Product---Profit. Without top people, you cannot do much with the other two.
The best buy by way of management is brains-at any price.
Failure is success if we learn from it.
The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
The best vision is insight.
Victory is sweetest when you've known defeat.
If you have a job without any aggravations, you don't have a job.
Education's purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open one.
For corporations to be bedfellows with the arts is good business for both. The architecture that houses a company is a more visible statement than the president's in the annual report. Ditto interiors, particularly of offices and sometimes, dramatically, in plants. For solvent businesses, support of community cultural undertakings in music, drama, dance creates great goodwill. Also, the existence of such activities is often important to the executives and their families that companies want to keep or attract to keep.
People who never get carried away should be.
