Malcolm Forbes quotes about
When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.
When you don't want something enough to make the effort, making an effort is a waste.
I think legislative assaults on motorcyclists are totally emotionally, disproportionate and totally unfair....they're instigated and implemented by people who know nothing about motorcycling, but have a prejudice. It's easy to curb the freedoms of others when you see no immediate impact on your own.
I don't waste too much time philosophizing about wealth, I just recommend it to everyone.
No one ever dies wishing they'd spent more time at the office.
A little reciprocity goes a long way.
If you do not know what you're doing stacked on his desk, a dozen colleagues Initially sticks with a large number of papers and pass them. In case of doubt, the way in.
A man can't do more than he can - but he can at least do that much.
Compliment others on the virtues they have; and they're not half as pleased as being complimented for the ones they don't have.
When the joy of the job's gone, when it's no fun trying anymore, quit before you're fired.
When those with ability at their job get to thinking they can't be done without, they're already on their way out.
The smart ones ask when they don't know. And, sometimes, when they do.
In all the thrashing about that results from our dwindling gold reserves, it's about time that this country and other countries get some perspective on the situation. The day this country is out of the stuff, that day gold becomes what it's worth as a metal and no longer will have much significance as a monetary measurement. It isn't the gold we have that makes this nation rich. It's what we make, our knowhow, our productivity. So long as this country produces more and better, the world will continue to want what we make.
People who stare deserve the looks they get.
