SUCCESS.
In the lexicon of youth, which fate reserves
For a bright manhood, there is no such word
As—fail.
Richelieu, Act ii. Sc. 2. E. BULWER-LYTTON.
The star of the unconquered will.
The Light of Stars. H.W. LONGFELLOW.
'T is not in mortals to command success,
But we'll do more, Sempronius; we'll deserve it.
Cato, Act i. Sc. 2. J. ADDISON.
And many strokes, though with a little axe,
Hew down and fell the hardest-timbered oak.
King Henry VI., Pt. III. Act ii. Sc. 1. SHAKESPEARE.
Such a nature.
Tickled with good success, disdains the shadow
Which he treads on at noon.
Coriolanus, Act i. Sc. 1. SHAKESPEARE.
In my school-days, when I had lost one shaft,
I shot his fellow of the self-same flight
The self-same way, with more advised watch.
To find the other forth; and by adventuring both,
I oft found both.
Merchant of Venice, Act i. Sc. 1. SHAKESPEARE.
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
Success. EMILY DICKINSON.
