If you are a genius and unsuccessful,
everybody treats you as if you were a genius, but when you come to be
successful, when you commence to earn money, when you are really successful,
then your family and everybody no longer treats you like a genius, they treat
you like a man who has become successful. - Pablo
Picasso
The logic of worldly success rests on a fallacy:
the strange error that our perfection depends on the thoughts and opinions and
applause of other men! A weird life it is, indeed, to be living always in
somebody else's imagination, as if that were the only place in which one could
at last become real! - Thomas Merton
If you would revenge yourself on those who
have slighted you, BE SUCCESSFUL; it is a bitter satire on their want of
judgment; to show that you can do without them, a galling wound to the
self-love of proud, inflated people; but you must reckon on their hatred, as
they will never forgive you. - Charles
William Day
