Michael Korda quotes - page 2
The purely agitation attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.
Michael Korda
Learn to accept your mistakes. Don't be a perfectionist about everything.
Michael Korda
Don't make waves, move smoothly without disturbing things.
Michael Korda
The American system demands success, and in order to succeed we must first believe that we can. Yet our society, with its intolerance of failure and poverty, traps millions of people in positions where any kind of success seems impossible to contemplate, and in which failure itself is a kind of passive rebellion against their own misery and the social system which created it in the first place. To succeed it is necessary to accept the world as it is and rise above it.
Michael Korda
Male chauvinism is ... a shrewd method of extracting the maximum of work for the minimum of compensation.
Michael Korda
• It's O.K. to be ambitious. • It's O.K. to look out for Number One. ... • It's O.K. to be a winner. • And it's always O.K. to be rich. A word of caution: people will tell you that success can't buy you happiness. This is true enough, but success is the next best thing to happiness, and if you can't be happy as a success, it's very unlikely that you would find a deeper, truer happiness in failure.
Michael Korda
The first step to success is to accept the consequences of knowing that you're right, when that is the case. It is not so much a matter of being assertive, as of giving up the comfortable cocoon of apologies and guilt in which most of us have chosen to live.
