This last page of the magazine, which collects wisdom new and old, consistently has been among the most read in the magazine. It was almost half a century ago that our grandfather, B.C. Forbes, first collected Thoughts between hard covers. With each edition, the selection has expanded and changed, but the animating idea has not. His introduction to the original volume follows. It eloquently explains the underlying purpose of Thoughts and, indeed, of Forbes Magazine itself.
Undoubtedly, B.C. would be delighted and proud that continued demand led to the current volume. So are we! Steve Forbes
That had happened with a vengeance! Every issue of Forbes, since its inception, has appeared under the masthead: With all thy getting, get understanding. Not only so, but we have devoted, all through the years, a full page to Thoughts on the Business of Life, reflections by ancient and modern sages calculated to inspire a philosophic mode of life, broad sympathies, charity towards all. Having assiduously sought all these years to pursue this objective, I wouldhaving already passed the Biblical span of three-score-years-and-tenpass on contented if I could conscientiously feel that we have rendered at least a little service to our day and generation, that we have done something towards bequeathing a better world for my four sons and an increasing number of grandchildren. This volume is a humble contribution to furthering human, humane Understanding. Im convinced, despite all the woes, wars, strife, bloodshed afflicting mankind at this moment, that Robert Burns was truly prophetic when he wrote: Its comin yet for a that, That Man to Man, the world oer. Shall be brothers for a that.
I have faith that time will eventually come when employees and employers, as well as humankind, will realize that they serve themselves best when they serve others most. B.C. Forbes
It cannot remain undiscovered because it is sought by too many anxious to use it. Bourke Cockran I will not be concerned at other mens not knowing me; I will be concerned at my own want of ability. Confucius The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has. Confucius People are always ready to admit a mans ability after he gets there. Bob Edwards What I need is someone who will make me do what I can. English proverb Almost any idea is good if a man has ability and is willing to work hard. English proverb Almost any idea is good if a man has ability and is willing to work hard.
The best idea is worthless if the creator is a loafer and ineffective. William Feather The ultimate high: A mans abilities equaling his opinion of em. Malcolm Forbes The tools to him who has the ability to handle them. French proverb There are few, if any, jobs in which ability alone is sufficient. Needed, also, are loyalty, sincerity, enthusiasm and team play. William B.
Given, Jr. The man who occupies the first place seldom plays the principal part. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Ability is useless unless its used. Robert Half When ability exceeds ambition, or ambition exceeds ability, the likelihood of success is limited. Ralph Half Skill and confidence are an unconquered army. Elbert Hubbard There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. Elbert Hubbard There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability.
It is the ability to recognize ability.
