"Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline." ― Graham Greene Topic(s): Success More From Graham Greene "We are all of us resigned to death: it’s life we aren’t resigned to." "People talk about the courage of condemned men walking to the place of execution: sometimes it needs as much courage to walk with any kind of bearing towards another person’s habitual misery." "It is impossible to go through life without trust: that is to be imprisoned in the worst cell of all, oneself." More In Success "It’s the quality of the ordinary, the straight, the square, that accounts for the great stability and success of our nation. It’s a quality to be proud of. But it’s a quality that many people seem to have neglected."― Gerald R. Ford "When you’re a plebeian you want success, and when you’re successful you want to be a plebeian again."― Paula Cole "There is no middle ground in Hollywood; you’re a failure or you’re a success. That mentality is wild."― Javier Bardem
