To switch lads and lassies from quickie ceremonies back to the catered works in to-be-worm-only-once white dresses, the [wedding] garment producers have turned to sociology. Through statistics as carefully laid out as a bridal train, they are establishing a correlation showing a higher divorce rate for the informally gowned.... They may just have something there.... If a bride has sunk a bunk of savings into a dress she can't use again in a second wedding, she might think twice about having a second.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
I don't think anybody can be a success who doesn't like what they do. [But it's] no job if it has no challenge; there's nothing to it if there are no problems. The essential thing is liking what you're doing.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
One cannot walk into an April day in a negative way. With spring, each man's plans and hopes result in new efforts, fresh actions. All of which has a mighty important bearing on the economy. There are those of us who think that the psychology of man, each and together, has more impact on markets, business, services and building and all the fabric of an economy than all the more measurable statistical indices.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
It ticks me no end when people get ticked off at those of us who comment audibly and in print on events and problems. That's what we're paid for. Why clutter up your mind with a bunch of facts that might inhibit the solve-ability of us who must express an opinion? After all, all the world cries out for a solution to its problems, and we supply them right and left. Come to think of it, it's we who should be giving our deplorers and detractors the blast; because 99% of the time they don't do as we say.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
SM is an abbreviation of both stock market and sadomasochism-- and there are those who think they are one and the same.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
It is unfortunate we can't buy many business executives for what they are worth and sell them for what they think they are worth.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
When those with ability at their job get to thinking they can't be done without, they're already on their way out.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
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?
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
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.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
Thinking well to be wise: planning well, wiser: doing well wisest and best of all.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
There are a handful of companies who understand all successful business operations come down to three basic principles; People---Product---Profit. Without top people, you cannot do much with the other two.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
The top people of the biggest companies are, surprisingly, often the nicest ones in their company I'm not sure, though, if they got there because they were good guys or that they're now good guys because they can afford to be.

Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
People who say that money isn't the most important thing in the world are usually broke.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
Some people as a result of adversity are sadder, wiser, kinder, more human. Most of us are better, though, when things go better.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
When young, you're shocked by the number of people who turn out to have feet of clay. Older, you're surprised by the number of people who don't.
Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
The richest person in the world - in fact. All the riches in the world - couldn't provide you with anything like the endless, incredible loot available at your local library. You can measure the awareness, the breadth and the wisdom of a civilization, a nation, a people by the priority given to preserving these repositories of all that we are, all that we were, or will be.

Quote by -Malcolm S Forbes
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.
