"Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry." ― Democritus Topic(s): Success More From Democritus "Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence." "Hope of ill gain is the beginning of loss." "Men should strive to think much and know little." More In Success "If God has made the world a perfect mechanism, He has at least conceded so much to our imperfect intellect that in order to predict little parts of it, we need not solve innumerable differential equations, but can use dice with fair success."― Max Born "I had a lot of success from the start. I never really was tested for long periods of time. I got my first professional job while I was a senior in college. I signed with the William Morris Agency before I graduated."― Denzel Washington "Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility… in the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have… is the ability to take on responsibility."― Michael Korda
