quotations about success
The dreams and hopes of men
Are powered by addiction
And who am I to say that
This is an affliction
When everybody gets
Suckered in and lives their
Lives like fiction
Writing their own story
Of success
GRAHAM PARKER
"Success"
Success seems to be that which forms the distinction between confidence and conceit.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON
Lacon
Success is buried on the other side of frustration.
ANTHONY ROBBINS
Unlimited Power: The New Science of Personal Achievement
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
ALBERT CAMUS
The Fall
Success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square.
MICHELLE OBAMA
speech at Democratic National Convention, September 4, 2012
True success is ... the experience of the miraculous. It is the unfolding of the divinity within us.
DEEPAK CHOPRA
The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success
The funny thing about having all this so-called success is that behind it is a certain horrible emptiness.
SAM SHEPARD
The Observer, March 20, 2010
Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.
PABLO PICASSO
Vogue, November 1, 1956
Unless you have courage, a courage that keeps you going, always going, no matter what happens, there is no certainty of success. It is really an endurance race.
HENRY FORD
Theosophist Magazine, February 1930
Success is a hidden jewel, and is found but by a few.
EDWARD COUNSEL
Maxims
Keep away from people who are always despondent; who always have a mental picture of some bad luck that is on the way. You can derive no benefit from association with such people; they spread the contagion of poverty thought, and in their company you will surely assimilate some of their ruinous-thought element. To say that "I can" and "I will" places you in alignment with thought currents that inevitably lead to "SUCCESS."
WALTER MATTHEWS
"Success", Human Life from Many Angles
Integrity is so perishable in the summer months of success.
VANESSA REDGRAVE
attributed, Good-bye Baby and Amen
Your success and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
ALBERT CAMUS
The Fall
In all things success depends on previous preparation, and without such previous preparation there is sure to be failure.
CONFUCIUS
The Doctrine of the Mean
Success soon palls. The joyous time is, when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows.
CHARLES BUXTON
Notes of Thought
Failure means that you would not, or could not, pay for success. Success is a matter of sale. It can (most often) be bought by a large outlay--of hard forethought--of pains--of steadiness--of the golden wisdom coined from experience. But the figure is too high for most of us. We are too poor, or too slothful, to bring the price.
CHARLES BUXTON
Notes of Thought
Complete success alienates a man from his fellows, but suffering makes kinsmen of us all.
ELBERT HUBBARD
The American Bible
For one man who sincerely pities our misfortunes, there are a thousand who sincerely hate our success.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON
Lacon
All successful men have agreed in one thing--they were causationists. They believed that things went not by luck, but by law; that there was not a weak or a cracked link in the chain that joins the first and last of things. A belief in causality, or strict connection between every trifle and the principle of being, and, in consequence, belief in compensation, or, that nothing is got for nothing--characterizes all valuable minds, and must control every effort that is made by an industrious one. The most valiant men are the best believers in the tension of the laws.
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
The Conduct of Life
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the process
MORCHEEBA
