Success, after all, loves a witness, but failure can't exist without one.

About This Quote

Thomas Edison said, “Success, after all, loves a witness, but failure can’t exist without one.” Success and failure are often thought of as opposites. The person who has achieved great success often believes that he needs no one else to recognize his accomplishments. That is the great misconception about success. Successful people are not always recognized for their accomplishments or even feel that they deserve the recognition they receive.

People who achieve great success may never be able to accept it. But they should realize that there are others out there who will recognize the impact they have made on the world and will appreciate them for it.
