Malcolm Forbes quotes about
One worthwhile task carried to a successful conclusion is worth half-a-hundred half-finished tasks.
Working at what you enjoy is far more important than what you're working at.
No one ever dies wishing they'd spent more time at the office.
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 hardest work of all - doing nothing.
It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing Prison or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history.
Retirement kills more people than hard work ever did.
If you have a job without aggravations, you don't have a job.
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.
