Famous quotes containing the words success and/or mode:
“The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary, it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind. Failure makes people cruel and bitter.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“Literature exists at the same time in the modes of error and truth; it both betrays and obeys its own mode of being.”
