Famous quotes containing the words big and/or success:
“We only confess our little faults to persuade people that we have no big ones.”

“The success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly. They make shift to live merely by conformity, practically as their fathers did, and are in no sense the progenitors of a nobler race of men.”
