Alfred T. Mahan Quote

Too much success is not wholly desirable; an occasional beating is good for men—and nations.


Life of Nelson, 1897


Too much success is not wholly desirable; an occasional beating is good for men—and nations.

Too much success is not wholly desirable; an occasional beating is good for men—and nations.

Too much success is not wholly desirable; an occasional beating is good for men—and nations.

Too much success is not wholly desirable; an occasional beating is good for men—and nations.
