Malcolm Forbes quotes about
The ultimate high: A man's abilities equaling his opinion of'em.
Are you not justified in feeling inferior, when you seek to cover it up with arrogance and insolence?
A little while ago I visited Omaha Beach for the second time in my life. In the intervening 26 years, nearly 20,000 tides had come and gone and little remains visible of the greatest military landing in man's history of endless warring. What's to be seen is mostly in a superb museum and a panoramic cemetery. The cemetery memorializes with dignity and grandeur the event and the dead, and moves one deeply. Before they die less precipitously and/or in lesser purpose, Americans who can should visit World War II's Normandy Beach. Such seeing and remembering helps a man's perspective.
The difference between towering and cowering is totally a matter of inner posture.
One's real worth is never a quantifiable thing.
I think the foremost quality - there's no success without it - is really loving what you do. If you love it, you do it well, and there's no success if you don't do well what you're working at.
It's a very short trip. While alive, live.
Noone's a leader if there are no followers..
Putting pen to paper lights more fire than matches ever will
The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.
There are more fakers in business than in jail.
At the heart of any good business is a chief executive officer with one.
Isn't it fortunate how selective our recollections usually are.
Never hire someone who knows less than you do about what he's hired to do.
