"I don’t believe in this business of being behind, better to be in front." ― Mel Brooks Topic(s): Business More From Mel Brooks "I was a soldier in WWII. The last couple of months of the war I was actually in combat." "Humor is just another defense against the universe." "Look, I don’t want to wax philosophic, but I will say that if you’re alive you’ve got to flap your arms and legs, you’ve got to jump around a lot, for life is the very opposite of death, and therefore you must at very least think noisy and colorfully, or you’re not alive." More In Business "I have always been a business person."― Bethenny Frankel "We have mountain of debt that isn’t going away and all the problems are here to stay, and anybody who tells you that is a good thing ought to get out of the business of helping the government down the road."― Rick Santelli "Without the element of uncertainty, the bringing off of even, the greatest business triumph would be dull, routine, and eminently unsatisfying."― J. Paul Getty
