Author of quotes: Alisher Usmanov

How can you forget those who once helped us, who believed in you?

Today I am a pensioner in terms of status and age. A pensioner who, due to the subjective circumstances of his biography, can afford to engage in those matters, the purpose of which is to give people pleasure, to give beauty, to help them achieve sports results, to discover something new in science.

I do not lend. Nobody ever. Debt is fraught. Better to give.

If management is elected, then it must be trusted. And if you manage it yourself all the time, well, life passes. There are many interesting things, in addition to business, in life: sports, art, for example.

Of course, the coronavirus pandemic affects business, as, unfortunately, the entire global economy. Entrepreneurs have not only assets but also liabilities. For them, both the virus itself and the information wave that shatters the markets are dangerous. The most important thing now is that for the sake of people's health and happiness, the leaders of the states of the world show will and unite in the face of global danger, regardless of geopolitical contradictions.

The most important thing in your charity is your clear conscience. Because even in front of the eternity that awaits us all, this is still correct.

Being an oracle is the lot of either a naïve or uneducated person.

But most of all today I enjoy watching the changes that are taking place in art. It is very interesting to understand young people who are fond of the so-called new forms. I am worried why the classics, which were created in the past centuries, have always been tried to be staged in the historical scenery of the time in which the work was written. It was considered very interesting from the point of view of knowledge. Today everything is simplified by modern decorations and modern everyday life. "La Traviata" in jeans - I don't understand that.

My basic rule in business is never to engage in political games, but never to do anything without understanding and support of the state apparatus and, above all, the government and the leadership of the state in which we do this business.

With age, I want to be more of a philanthropist, because the haphazard occupation of making money is not interesting for intellectual development.

There are always more good people than bad people, otherwise the end of the world would have already come.

I've been fortunate to succeed in business, and I think it's right for people who have that kind of fortune to give something back to society.

Worrying about people ... This is very harmful to health, and even more so with age, you keep all this in yourself. Previously, it was possible to blurt out everything in one phrase and get rid of it, but now it is inconvenient - you can neither be rude, nor even shout.

Static character - she is beautiful only in sculpture. A business dynamism is the key to your profits
