Success and Failure

Success didn't spoil me; I've always been insufferable.

A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.

Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.

It's never just a game when you're winning.

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Not failure, but low aim, is crime.

Every success is usually an admission ticket to a new set of decisions.

he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know.

Success is sweet, the sweeter if long delayed and attained through manifold struggles and defeats.

I look on that man as happy, who, when there is a question of success, looks into his work for a reply.

If all else fails, immortality can always be assured by spectacular error.

I think what’s most disturbing about success is that it’s very hazardous to your health, as well as to your daily routine. Not only are there intrusions on your time, but there is a kind of corrosion of your own humility and sense of necessary workmanship. You get the idea that anything you do is in some way marvelous.

Without labor nothing prospers.

One out of suits with fortune.

Studious to please, yet not ashamed to fail.

If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it;

I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.

There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.

Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.

The gent who wakes up and finds himself a success hasn't been asleep.

The god of Victory is said to be one-handed, but Peace gives victory to both sides.

It is no doubt a good thing to conquer on the field of battle, but it needs greater wisdom and greater skill to make use of victory.

To be a winner you must want to win but must know of the chance of losing and must not fear of it.

The painful warrior famoused for fight, After a thousand victories, once foil’d, Is from the books of honor razed quite, And all the rest forgot for which he toil’d.
