Success is a journey, not a destination.
My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain -- and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.
Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.
I concede!
Success is the one unpardonable sin against one's fellows.
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone.
Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.
When we fail our pride supports us and when we succeed, it betrays us.
It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success.
The secret of success is consistency of purpose.
Success: Big shots are only little shots who keep shooting.
The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic, and self-complacent is erroneous, on the contrary, it makes them for the most part, humble, tolerant, and kind. Failure makes people bitter and cruel.
The Lord gave us two ends -- one to sit on and the other to think with. Success depends on which one we use the most.
Success doesn't come to you you go to it.
Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance. It cannot be coaxed or bribed; pay the price and it is yours.
One principle reason why men are so often useless is that they divide and shift their attention among a multiplicity of objects and pursuits.
It is more important to be of service than successful.
Success is neither magical or mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it's the same problem you had last year.
