He who reckons his own soul is successful; he who is heedless of it is unsuccessful.
--
Muhammad Kulayni, Us?l al-K?f?, vol.2, p.111Ali al-Rida
The successful revolutionary is a statesman, the unsuccessful one a criminal.
Erich Fromm
If one takes the path of success, then one ends up either successful or unsuccessful, there is no third alternative.
Imre Kertesz‎
Oh for a lodge in some vast wilderness,
Some boundless contiguity of shade,
Where rumor of oppression and deceit,
Of unsuccessful or successful war,
Might never reach me more.William Cowper
A rationalist, as I use the word, is a man who attempts to reach decisions by argument and perhaps, in certain cases, by compromise, rather than by violence. He is a man who would rather be unsuccessful in convincing another man by argument than successful in crushing him by force, by intimidation and threats, or even by persuasive propaganda.
Karl Popper
To my simple mind it is not obvious that a successful electrician is an authority on the immortal soul, any more than that a successful military strategist has an ear for music, or an admirable French cook a grasp of the higher mathematics.
