People in their handlings of affairs often fail when they are about to succeed. If one remains as careful at the end as he was at the beginning, there will be no failure.

Failure is unfortunately as common as success.

Sometimes a noble failure serves the world as faithfully as a distinguished success.

I often feel that when people have affairs, it has more to do with something they're searching for in themselves than anything else.

Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.

My goal is not to create a circumstance in which no one fails, but one in which many will succeed.

I've had affairs. But I'm not the sort of man who has 10,000 affairs.

Economy, prudence, and a simple life are the sure masters of need, and will often accomplish that which, their opposites, with a fortune at hand, will fail to do.

A life which does not go into action is a failure.

Any affair, by its very nature, is quite dysfunctional.
