Famous quotes containing the word successful:

    Two myths must be shattered: that of the evil stepparent . . . and the myth of instant love, which places unrealistic demands on all members of the blended family. . . .

    Claire Berman (20th century)

    I’d sooner be called a successful crook than a destitute monarch.
    Charlie Chaplin (1889–1977)
