Any time someone achieves success before they've earned it, it always comes back to haunt them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves.
Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early.
Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.
Success is like winning the sweepstakes or getting killed in an automobile crash. It always happens to somebody else.
You cannot underestimate the value of luck in success in life. And I've really learned to appreciate that.
Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.
Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.
People who are successful should never forget that it's 90 per cent luck. You've got to be an eejit to be an egomaniac. I had my glory years - 'Blankety Blank,' the talk show, when I was winning every award going.
A person has to remember that the road to success is always under construction. You have to get that through your head. That it is not easy becoming successful.
People fall forward to success.
