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.

How success changes the opinion of men!
Success isn't everything but it makes a man stand straight.
Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results.
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.
Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.
Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues.
Within the hearts men, loyalty and consideration are esteemed greater than success.
Men fail much oftener from want of perseverance than from want of talent.
Men don't have as many difficulties and are more supported to combine the different aspects of their life.
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
