Malcolm Forbes quotes about
A little reciprocity goes a long way.
Wars almost never end the way starters had in mind.
There's no way to move without making waves.
Trying to impress others does - usually in quite the opposite way.
There is just no way any management with any intelligence and foresight cannot recognize the value of a corporate image. It is the best, single marketable investment that a company can make.
I made my money the old-fashioned way. I was very nice to a wealthy relative right before he died.
Success follows doing what you want to do. There is no other way to be successful.
The best buy by way of management is brains-at any price.
One worthwhile task carried to a successful conclusion is worth half-a-hundred half-finished tasks.
Presence is more than just being there.
Victory is sweetest when you've know defeat. Ability will never catch up with the demand for it. You pay for everything, even including speaking your mind (with or without one). Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.
Men who never get carried away should be.
Executives who get there and stay suggest solutions when they present the problems.
Their steaks are often good, but the lobsters-with claws the size of Arnold Schwarzenegger's forearms-are as glazed and tough as most of the customers.
