“Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline.”

“Failure is hard, but success is far more dangerous. If you're successful at the wrong thing, the mix of praise and money and opportunity can lock you in forever.”

“Failure is far more common than success; poverty is more prevalent than wealth; and disappointment is more normal than arrival.”

“A success that has outlived its usefulness may, in the end, be more damaging than failure.”

“Success or failure in business is caused more by mental attitude even than by mental capacity.”

“Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others.”

“And the rarest dangers are those in which failure brings little loss and success the greatest advantage.”

“I do feel one learns more from one's failures than from one's successes”

“Success was misunderstood as essential to progress. Really success was worse than failure.”

“It is true that success is the most boring thing, it is tinny and brittle, failure runs deeper. Success is dangerous. I have a very complicated relationship with that word.”
