Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham quotes:

How few successful men are interesting! Hannibal, Alcibiades, with Raleigh, Mithridates, and Napoleon, who would compare them for a moment with their mere conquerors?

God forbid that I should go to any heaven where there are no horses.

Poverty, many can endure with dignity. Success, how few can carry off, even with decency and without baring their innermost infirmities before the public gaze!

Success, which touches nothing that it does not vulgarize, should be its own reward.
