Malcolm Forbes quotes about
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.
Where you're from only matters in relation to where you are.
The hardest time to tell: when to stop.
Those carried away by power are soon carried away.
Authority's for sharing only when the sharer is sure of his (or hers).
Once in a while there's wisdom in recognizing that the Boss is.
Since we had nothing to do with our arrival and usually are not consulted about our departure, what makes so many of us think we're entitled to so much while we're here?
I haven't a clue about the biology or the psychology involved when a person dissolves into tears, but it is quite fascinating to note what turns them on. There are wives who can cascade over a late husband or a burned dinner, and equally pour tears of joy over a new bonnet or a renovated bathroom.... A while ago I took a ship back from Europe. Amid the tumbling confetti ... I found myself misty-eyed watching a young lady waving a tearful farewell to her boyfriend on the dock. I couldn't figure out if I was crying at her plight, or in delight that he wasn't coming along with us.
Economists' unanimity that bad business is ahead is the most reassuring news possible. It's very unlikely that this will be the one time they're right.
Things there are no solution to: Inflation, bureaucracy & dandruff.
