Book excerpt: With words of wisdom filling each page, this collection of thoughts represents diverse perspectives on the subject of success and is culled from world leaders throughout history--heads of state, captains of industry, philosophers, military leaders, and theologians. The book is compiled by the editors of a magazine that millions of business leaders look to for insight into the world of business--and into the business of life--and this timeless series reflects the much-respected Forbes philosophy on life and leadership.
