To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.

Hast thou not learn'd what thou art often told, A truth still sacred, and believed of old, That no success attends on spears and swords Unblest, and that the battle is the Lord's?

Temporary success can be achieved in spite of lack of other fundamental qualities, but no advancements can be maintained without hard work.

The exclusive worship of the bitch-goddess Success is our national disease.

We get very little wisdom from success, you know.

The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind.
