A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in the experience.
If any man, out of an humour, should turn all his Estate into Money, and keep it dead, he would soon be sensible of Poverty growing upon him, whilst he is eating out of the quick stock.
The forgotten man... He works, he votes, generally he prays, but his chief business in life is to pay.
The man who has really won the love of one good woman in this world, I do not care if he dies in the ditch a beggar - his life has been a success.
Failure too is a form of death.
Why should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?
Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started.
A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.
The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.
A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.
