Success Spoil Rock

Famous quotes containing the words success, spoil and/or rock:

    We live in a system of approximations. Every end is prospective of some other end, which is also temporary; a round and final success nowhere. We are encamped in nature, not domesticated.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Spare the rod and spoil the child.
    Bible: Hebrew.

    You have constantly urged the idea that you were persecuted because you did not come from West-Point, and you repeat it in these letters. This, my dear general, is I fear, the rock on which you have split.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
