“Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.”

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

“Great joys, why do they bring us sadness? Because there remains from these excesses only a feeling of irrevocable loss and desertion which reaches a high degree of negative intensity. At such moments, instead of a gain, one keenly feels loss. sadness accompanies all those events in which life expends itself. its intensity is equal to its loss. Thus death causes the greatest sadness.”

“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.”

“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.”

“A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.”

“Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.”

“The best and greatest winning is a true friend; and the greatest loss is the loss of time.”
