An enemy is a perpetual spy.

Look for squalls, but don’t make them.

Follow your own star.

You can’t walk and look at the stars if you have a stone in your shoe.

There are as many good step mothers as white ravens.

Words are like bees: they have honey and a sting.

Thorns and thistles sting very sure, but old maid’s tongues sting more.

If you’re not stingy you’re not wealthy, and if you’re not wealthy, you’re not stingy.

 

One is not smelt where all stink.

Nothing succeeds like success.

In success, be moderate.

Success makes success like money makes money.

Success sometimes costs more than it is worth.

To know how to wait is the great secret of success.

The worst use that can be made of success is to boast of it.

Affairs which depend on many seldom succeed.

Success covers a multitude of blunders.

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.

Success has ruined many a man.

Failure teaches success.
