Entertaining, enlightening, and informative, The Forbes® Book of Business Quotations sheds light on an amazing range of subjects—from ability and attitude to idleness, ignorance, and imagination, and all the way to youth and zeal—and encompasses the contributions of business leaders and mavericks, philosophers and pundits, poets and politicians. Drawn from across the centuries and from many corners of the world, here are reflections on "the business of life" from such eminently quotable and knowledgeable men and women as Marcus Aurelius, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Machiavelli, Ambrose Bierce, Katherine Graham, Andrew Carnegie, Vaclav Havel, Helen Keller, Thomas Hobbes, James Madison, Thomas J. Watson, Katharine Hepburn, and hundreds of others.
Whether you adhere to Booker T. Washington's pragmatic "An ounce of application is worth a ton of abstraction," or prefer Oscar Wilde's pithy "Action is the last resort of those who do not know how to dream," you'll find something here to suit any mood and every occasion.
