“Men are born to succeed, not to fail.”
“Everything is a contest. All dealings among men are a contest in which some will succeed and others fail. And some are failing quite spectacularly.”
“Men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.”
“If you are afraid to fail, then you are afraid to succeed. You can never succeed of you have not failed.”
“It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.”
“What can it matter to me, that I succeed or fail ? The undertaking is none of mine, if they want me to succeed I'll fail, and vice versa, so as not to be rid of my tormentors.”
