to succeed in one requires you succeed in the other - the ying and the yang men and women etc

Survival and success are two different things - Fortunes have been made and lost mistaking one for the other

Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizen in a Republic", April 23,1910

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood: who strives valiantly: who errs and comes up short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause: who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement: and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
