There are men in the world who derive an exaltation from the proximity of disaster and ruin, as other from success.

Great success always comes at the risk of enormous failure.

Don't take 'no' for an answer, never submit to failure. Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance. You will make all kinds of mistakes, but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or events.

You must put your head into the lion's mouth if the performance is to be a success.

No one can guarantee success in war but only deserve it.

Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.
