E. M. Forster

Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.

Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.

The miracle, or the power, that elevates the few is to be found in their industry, application, and perseverance under the prompting of a brave, determined spirit.

Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live.

You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.

Worry is the most wasteful thing in the world.

People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. You should be an open book, be transparent.

Little difficulties are made to swell until they fill our horizon while the real big blessings of life are dwindled down to nothing.

He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

The point of quotations is that one can use another’s words to be insulting.

We each own one car, and we have a reasonable house. It’s a lovely place to be, but it’s not extravagant.

Imitate, assimilate and innovate.

And you know, two heads are better than one.

I believe that everything in life happens for a reason.

How beautiful the world was when one looked at it without searching, just looked, simply and innocently.
