I'm a smart guy, I like to think of myself as a smart guy, but sometimes I go out there and do a lot of dumb stuff.
There were the giants, great of stature and expert in war.... They perished because they had no wisdom; they perished through their own foolishness.
Success tempts many to their ruin.
Imagine the vanity of thinking that your enemy can do you more damage than your enmity.
Our rash faults Make trivial price of serious thing we have, Not knowing them until we know their grave.
We've seen a lot of people self-destruct because of a small taste of success.
I think once you start to think that you're the man, and you know it all, and your style is unbeatable and stuff like that, that's when you get caught and clipped and get humbled really fast.
There is such a thing as tempting the gods. Talking too much, too soon and with too much self-satisfaction has always seemed to me a sure way to court disaster. The forces of retribution are always listening. They never sleep.
It serves me right for putting all my eggs in one bastard.
