Which of these quotations from “The Fallacy of Success” by G.K. Chesterton best expresses a tone that indicates the author believes that books about success are “the silliest ever known among men”?
“Beyond the rules of the game it is all a question either of talent or dishonesty; ”
“…It is perfectly obvious that in any decent occupation (such as bricklaying or writing books) there are only two ways (in any special sense) of succeeding. One is by doing very good work, the other is by cheating.”
“Or suppose that in the course of his intellectual rambles the philosopher of Success dropped upon our other case, that of playing cards, his bracing advice would run—‘In playing cards it is very necessary to avoid the mistake…of permitting your opponent to win the game.’”
“You may want to jump or to play cards; but you do not want to read wandering statements to the effect that jumping is jumping, or that games are won by winners.”
