Failure means that you would not, or could not, pay for success. Success is a matter of sale. It can (most often) be bought by a large outlay--of hard forethought--of pains--of steadiness--of the golden wisdom coined from experience. But the figure is too high for most of us. We are too poor, or too slothful, to bring the price.

Proverbs are potted wisdom.

To make pleasures pleasant shorten them.

In life, as in chess, forethought wins.

You cannot win without sacrifice.

Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal.

You will never 'find' time for anything. If you want time, you must make it.
