B. C. Forbes Quotes About Politics

• Accuse American businessmen of being responsible for radicalism and they would indignantly deny the accusation. Yet, in one fundamental sense, they are responsible. They are responsible in the sense that they have utterly neglected to take part in the work and the organization which precede the choosing of candidates for political office. Local political organizations all over the land are conducted and controlled, as a rule, by politicians.... Businessmen have shirked such responsibilities, leaving an untrammeled field to others less capable of carrying on the administration of government.

• It is not a case of whether we want to wash our hands of Europe or want to help her to regain her feet. The troubles of Europe have been laid on our doorstep, so to speak, and will plague us, if we do nothing to cure them, whether we like it or not.

• El optimismo es un tónico. El pesimismo es veneno. Es cierto que todo empresario debe ser realista. Debe reunir hechos, analizarlos con franqueza y esforzarse por sacar conclusiones lógicas, ya sean favorables o desfavorables. No debe caer en el autoengaño. No debe verlo todo con color de rosa. Concediendo esto, la verdad incontestable es que América ha sido construida por optimistas, no por pesimistas, sino por hombres que poseían coraje, confianza en el destino de la nación, por hombres dispuestos a aventurarse a asumir riesgos aterradores para los tímidos.
