Every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The man who has the courage of his platitudes is always a successful man.
In every society some men are born to rule, and some to advise.
Success makes men rigid and they tend to exalt stability over all the other virtues; tired of the effort of willing they become fanatics about conservatism.
The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.
Those who believe that they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something.
It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.
To conceive the good, in fact, is not sufficient; it must be made to succeed among men. To accomplish this less pure paths must be followed.
One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.
No man has a right to expect to succeed in life unless he understands his business, and nobody can understand his business thoroughly unless he learns it by personal application and experience.
I'm not conceited. Conceit is a fault and I have no faults.
