Chaos breeds life, while order breeds success.

Franklin P. Adams

...If peace were the goal of today's intellectuals, a failure of that magnitude -- and the evidence of unspeakable suffering on so large a scale -- would make them pause and check their statist premises. Instead, blind to everything but their hatred for capitalism, they are now asserting that 'poverty breeds wars' ... But the question is: What breeds poverty? If you look a the world of today and if you look back at history, you will see the answer: the degree of a country's freedom is the degree of its prosperity.

Ayn Rand

In an outburst of hubris the overfed body will rush into sickness, while the jack-in-office will rush into the unrighteousness that hubris always breeds.

Plato

Success breeds success, and failure leads to a sort of fallow period.

Felicity Kendal

Success breeds inequality, and you don't want to choke off success.

Bob Ross

The top line is that hubris is a disease that comes from success.

Peter Beinart
