He that fails in his endeavors after wealth or power will not long retain either honesty or courage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
He who loses wealth loses much; he who loses a friend loses more; but he that loses his courage loses all.
What likelihood is there of corrupting a man who has no ambition?
He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
He works his business and manipulates and keeps himself in front of the world.
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.
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.
There can be no failure to a man who has not lost his courage, his character, his self respect, or his self-confidence. He is still a King.
His failures are as valuable as his successes: by misjudging one thing he conforms something else, even if at the time he does not know what that something else is.
The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.
He who is honest in his dealings simply because of the social prestige and position it secures will never develop his higher nature, but will always live along the lower lines.
