About This Quote
The difference between success and failure is often a matter of luck. A person could be crazy and still be successful. Or, they could be brilliant and still fail. That means that the only difference between the two is the amount of luck involved.
People that become successful often made it that way and occasionally were lucky to find themselves in that position. Mentally ill people, on the other hand, were always crazy and never had anything to do with luck.
