Quote by Mae West

I only have 'yes' men around me. Who needs 'no' men?

I only have 'yes' men around me. Who needs 'no' men?

Summary

This quote reflects a perspective that prioritizes surrounding oneself with individuals who consistently agree and support one's decisions and ideas. It implies that having people who challenge or oppose one's views (referred to as "no men") is unnecessary or undesirable. However, this approach may limit critical thinking, diversity of perspectives, and hinder personal growth or improvement. A more balanced approach, considering different viewpoints and constructive criticism, can often lead to better decision-making and overall success.
