When successful people fail, their fall or failure is greater than that of 'ordinary' people.
Even moderately clever people will seem very intelligent if they are surrounded only by fools.
Even the greatest of things started out small.
The more we have, the more we want.
When we are in the habit of doing something, it is very difficult to stop it.
