Questions for coaches prompted by a quote about success and comfort

 in quote  tagged coaches / coaching / comfort / questions / quote / success / William Allingham
On a chalkboard, an image at the bottom is of a bit of land which dips down in the middle before a raised piece of land on the right of the picture. To the left is the label comfort and to the right, above the raised area, is the word success. An outline of a human figure is drawn leaping across the dip to Success. The text above reads: "I believe in Success, and in Comfort no less I believe all the rest is but patter." (William Allingham)

The quote is:

“I believe in Success, and in Comfort no less I believe all the rest is but patter.” (William Allingham)
