<p>Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. ~Albert Einstein</p>
<p>Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good. ~Joe Paterno</p>
<p>Would these quotes be too chiche in college essays? These are quotes in response to motto prompts</p>
<p>the first one sort of is, but i like the second one. Either way, it doesn't really matter if your quotes are cliche if you can write an original essay about them.</p>
<p>i don't like the 2nd quote. its quite egotistical</p>
<p>How is it egotistical? It's using food as a tool for a metaphor</p>
<p>If hes applying to Penn State its really good lol</p>
<p>the metaphor is egotistical. its saying what is success without the having people recognize you?</p>
<p>It could be interpreted that way, but the more likely (and of course, intended) meaning is that if you CHEAT your way to success, the rewards won't be as, well, rewarding.</p>
