A Quote by Tommy Lasorda

Nothing succeeds like - failure. — © Tommy Lasorda
Nothing succeeds like - failure.
Nothing succeeds, they say, like success. And certainly nothing fails like failure.
Getting fired can produce a particularly bountiful payday for a CEO. Indeed, he can 'earn' more in that single day, while cleaning out his desk, than an American worker earns in a lifetime of cleaning toilets. Forget the old maxim about nothing succeeding like success: Today, in the executive suite, the all-too-prevalent rule is that nothing succeeds like failure.
Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
Nothing succeeds like address.
Nothing succeeds like success.
Nothing Succeeds like excess!
Nothing succeeds like reports of success.
Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.
If you have a successful run, everything comes to you. Nothing succeeds like success.
Nothing fails like success, because we do not learn anything from it. We only learn from failure, but we do not always learn the right things from failure. If there is a failure of expectations, that is, if the messages that we receive are not the same as those we expected, we can make three possible inferences.
When one tight end succeeds, everybody succeeds - like the tight ends were making under $10 million a year. To me that doesn't make any sense.
It does not matter how frequently something succeeds if failure is too costly to bear.
I wanted to highlight that whole dreadful process in book publishing that 'nothing succeeds like success.'
The seventh rule of the ethics of means and ends is that generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics. The judgment of history leans heavily on the outcome of success or failure; it spells the difference between the traitor and the patriotic hero. There can be no such thing as a successful traitor, for if one succeeds he becomes a founding father.
The theory seems to be that as long as a man is a failure he is one of God's children, but that as soon as he succeeds he is taken over by the Devil.
