Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others.

C'est dangereux le succès. On commence à se copier soi-même et se copier soi-même est plus dangereux que de copier les autres.

Another quote about Success

There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there–good for you! But I want to be clear. You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.
