Success seems to be that which forms the distinction between confidence and conceit.

Charles Caleb Colton

For one man who sincerely pities our misfortunes, there are a thousand who sincerely hate our success.

Charles Caleb Colton

To judge by the event is an error all commit: for in every instance courage, if crowned with success, is heroism; if clouded by defeat, temerity. When Nelson fought his battle in the Sound, it was the result alone that decided whether he was to kiss a hand at court or a rod at a court-martial.

Charles Caleb Colton

Constant success shows us but one side of the world; adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.
