Nothing succeeds so well as success. [ Prince De Talleyrand ]

With women worth the being won.
The softest lover ever best succeeds. [ Hill ]

When one is past, another care we have;
Thus woe succeeds a woe, as wave a wave. [ Robert Herrick ]

Gentleness succeeds better than violence. [ La Fontaine ]

For blessings ever wait on virtuous deeds,
And though a late, a sure reward succeeds. [ William Congreve ]

Fathers alone a father's heart can know,
What secret tides of still enjoyment flow,
When brothers love, but if their hate succeeds,
They wage the war, but 'tis the father bleeds. [ Young ]

Friendship is a youth to which old age succeeds not. [ At-Tunikhi ]

Nothing maintains its bloom forever; age succeeds to age. [ Cicero ]

Moderation is a fatal thing; nothing succeeds like excess. [ Oscar Wilde, A Woman of No Importance ]

Whosoever engages in many pursuits, rarely succeeds in one. [ Proverb ]

Revenge is lost in agony, and wild remorse to rage succeeds. [ Byron ]

As night succeeds the day, so do joy and grief succeed each other. [ Sophocles ]

Many a college student only succeeds in mastering a disqualifying culture. [ Edward L. Youmans ]

Perpetual possession is allowed to none, and one heir succeeds another, as wave follows wave. [ Horace ]

The lust of gold succeeds the lust of conquest; The lust of gold, unfeeling and remorseless! The last corruption of degenerate man. [ Samuel Johnson ]

The man who makes a success of an important venture never waits for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticised. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can't be done. [ C. V. White ]
