“The prominent always go to great lengths to maintain their incognito and are extremely disappointed when it succeeds.”
Victor de Kowa
“When a robbery victim does not defend himself, the robber succeeds 88 percent of the time, and the victim is injured 25 percent of the time. When a victim resists with a gun, the robbery success rate falls to 30 percent, and the victim injury rate falls to 17 percent. No other response to a robbery -- from drawing a knife to shouting for help to fleeing -- produces such low rates of victim injury and robbery success.”
David Kopel
“Nothing ever succeeds which exuberant spirits have not helped to produce.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
“An inventor fails 999 times, and if he succeeds once, he's in. He treats his failures simply as practice shots.”
Charles F. Kettering
“Gold is a treasure, and he who possesses it does all he wishes to in this world, and succeeds in helping souls into paradise”
Christopher Columbus
“Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.”
Christopher Lasch
“It is unforgiveable to do what one doesn’t love especially if one succeeds.”
Christian Dior
