| Rick Astley | My success set me up for life, and it meant that I could retire from the music industry at 27 to spend time with my newborn daughter and my wife. My time away from the spotlight allowed me to rediscover my love for music, and I'm doing it for me now and no one else. | 101 |
| Rick Pitino | Humility is the true key to success. Successful people lose their way at times. They often embrace and overindulge from the fruits of success.

| Pia Zadora | The reason we shot it was that the script was geared to Las Vegas and it was something commercial that we wanted to have in the can in case Butterfly was a success and we needed a follow-up. | 101 |
| Raekwon | When I sit here and see that the eight brothers from the neighborhood that I grew up with still have success, it had to be magical. I doubt if you get another 'Wu-Tang Clan.' That might be harder than getting the new 'Jackson Five.' Certain groups you only get one time, and we just happened to be that group. | 101 |
| Raymond E. Feist | Also, it's risky to try to duplicate earlier success. Magician had a certain charm to it, mostly due to my choice of lead characters, that I would be hard put to duplicate. | 101 |

| Arthur C. Brooks | The system that enables the most people to earn the most success is free enterprise, by matching up people's skills, interests, and abilities. In contrast, redistribution simply spreads money around. Even worse, it attenuates the ability to earn success by perverting economic incentives. | 101 |

| Herbert Kaufman | Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory. | 101 |
| John Boyle O'Reilly | The success of the suffrage movement would injure women spiritually and intellectually, for they would be assuming a burden though they knew themselves unable to bear it. It is the sediment, not the wave, of a sex. It is the antithesis of that highest and sweetest mystery - conviction by submission, and conquest by sacrifice. | 101 |
| Kate Morton | Some say I'm an overnight success. Well, that was a very long night that lasted about 10 years. But while I do, of course, now feel the pressure having had books that have been very successful, I just know I have to concentrate on writing for myself. I can't worry about genres or markets or what might be commercial or not. That never works. | 101 |
| Mark Caine | The first step toward success is taken when you refuse to be a captive of the environment in which you first find yourself. | 101 |

| Brenda Song | To this day, just always treat people the way you want to be treated. Whether it's family or friends or co-workers, I think it's the most important thing. Whether you have success or don't have it, whether you're a good person is all that matters. | 101 |
| Cecil B. DeMille | The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. | 101 |
| David Simon | Albert Camus, a great humanist and existentialist voice, pointed out that to commit to a just cause with no hope of success is absurd. But then, he also noted that not committing to a just cause is equally absurd. But only one choice offers the possibility for dignity. And dignity matters. Dignity matters. | 101 |
| George Kennedy | I had the good fortune of speaking with Orson Wells many decades ago and he said 'Success is primarily luck anyway.' And I have been very lucky. Of course, Orson Wells was enormously talented and brilliant - so who am I to argue with him! | 101 |

| Rafe Spall | Being kind is the most important thing I've ever been taught. That's what my parents always told me - more important than ambition or success is being kind to people. The cornerstone of my life. What I aspire to is to be kind. | 101 |
| Adrien Brody | My dad told me, 'It takes fifteen years to be an overnight success', and it took me seventeen and a half years. | 101 |

| Arthur Lewis | My father died when I was seven, leaving a widow and five sons, ranging in age from five to seventeen. My mother was the most highly-disciplined and hardest working person I have ever known, and this, combined with her love and gentleness, enabled her to make a success of each of her children. | 101 |
| Charlie Gonzalez | After a lifetime of working, raising families, and contributing to the success of this nation in countless other ways, senior citizens deserve to retire with dignity. | 101 |

| James Garner | I don't take success very well, because I know it's fleeting. And the next day, it can all fall apart. I know that, too. So I don't get too high, and I don't get too low. You get through the world a lot easier that way. | 101 |
| Jeffrey Dean Morgan | I'm learning a lot how to be good at what I do and also how lucky I am and take it all in and be grateful for all this late in life success I've been having and it's good to have people that have been around and successful for awhile and work with them and see how they behave and it's why they are who they are and why they're still successful. | 101 |

| Mark Warner | My success was due to good luck, hard work, and support and advice from friends and mentors. But most importantly, it depended on me to keep trying after I had failed. | 101 |
| Michael Diamond | Success for an athlete follows many years of hard work and dedication. | 101 |
| Monika Chiang | I think there are those individuals who are intimidated by really smart, talented people. But for me, surrounding yourself with great talent is the key to success. | 101 |
| Shawn Roberts | I've worked with people at different stages of their careers and different success levels, and one thing I've noticed about the guys at the top is they're so relaxed and calm - it's about not having anything to prove except doing good work. | 101 |
| Jason Derulo | I think the biggest challenge is to continue on the same path. I think it's easy to become complacent from the success you've had. | 101 |
| Jeremy Luke | The definition of success to me is not necessarily a price tag, not fame, but having a good life, and being able to say I did the right thing at the end of the day. | 101 |
| Joshua Waitzkin | The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard work, we will be brittle in the face of adversity. | 101 |
| John Barry | If you have a successful run, everything comes to you. Nothing succeeds like success. | 101 |
| Jonathan Taylor Thomas | Success is not in never failing, but rising everytime you fall! | 101 |
| John McCormack | I live again the days and evenings of my long career. I dream at night of operas and concerts in which I have had my share of success. Now like the old Irish minstrel, I have hung up my harp because my songs are all sung. | 101 |
| Bill Gates | Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose. | 102 |
| Colin Powell | Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty, and persistence. | 102 |
| Conor McGregor | My success isn't a result of arrogance - it's a result of belief. | 102 |
| Jim Rohn | Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day. | 102 |
| Michelle Obama | We learned about honesty and integrity - that the truth matters... that you don't take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules... and success doesn't count unless you earn it fair and square. | 102 |
| Vince Lombardi | The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand. | 102 |
| Andrew Carnegie | There is little success where there is little laughter. | 102 |
| Selena Gomez | Success is nothing if you don't have the right people to share it with; you're just gonna end up lonely. | 102 |
| Woody Hayes | Success - it's what you do with what you've got. | 102 |
| Alexander Graham Bell | Before anything else, preparation is the key to success. | 102 |
| Alfred Russel Wallace | I am decidedly of the opinion that in very many instances we can trace such a necessary connexion, especially among birds, and often with more complete success than in the case which I have here attempted to explain. | 102 |
| Babe Ruth | The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime. | 102 |
| Bikram Choudhury | Maintaining spirituality and humanism are the keys to success. It's a balance. | 102 |
| Billie Jean King | A champion is afraid of losing. Everyone else is afraid of winning. | 102 |
| Brendon Burchard | Challenge is the pathway to engagement and progress in our lives. But not all challenges are created equal. Some challenges make us feel alive, engaged, connected, and fulfilled. Others simply overwhelm us. Knowing the difference as you set bigger and bolder challenges for yourself is critical to your sanity, success, and satisfaction. | 102 |
| Chance The Rapper | Fame or perceived success - it all comes from groupthink. | 102 |
| Chris Farley | I used to think that you could get to a level of success where the laws of the universe didn't apply. But they do. It's still life on life's terms, not on movie-star terms. I still have to work at relationships. I still have to work on my weight and some of my other demons. | 102 |
| Condoleezza Rice | Success is not assured, but America is resolute: this is the best chance for peace we are likely to see for some years to come - and we are acting to help Israelis and Palestinians seize this chance. | 102 |
| Curtis Jackson | You learn a lot about yourself when you have success for a while. Like, a lot of things that you think are really important aren't. But you need that process. | 102 |
| Douglas Booth | We live in a beauty-obsessed age and success sometimes appears to hinge solely on the presentation of an image that is acceptable to the press. | 102 |
| Eazy-E | I have seven children by six different mothers. Maybe success was too good to me. | 102 |
| Eddie Redmayne | As an actor there's a lot of scrutiny and, even when you've had success, it becomes about sustaining that success. A friend of mine described it as a peakless mountain. Even for De Niro there's Pacino and for Pacino there's De Niro. | 102 |
| Edward Everett Hale | The making of friends who are real friends, is the best token we have of a man's success in life. | 102 |
| Eva Green | Success is very ephemeral. You depend entirely on the desire of others, which makes it difficult to relax. | 102 |
| Fernando Pessoa | Success consists in being successful, not in having potential for success. Any wide piece of ground is the potential site of a palace, but there's no palace till it's built. | 102 |
| George Edward Woodberry | Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure. | 102 |
| Gustave Flaubert | The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments. | 102 |
| Harold S. Geneen | The five essential entrepreneurial skills for success: Concentration, Discrimination, Organization, Innovation and Communication. | 102 |
| Irving Berlin | The toughest thing about success is that you've got to keep on being a success. | 102 |
| Jean Cocteau | I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike? | 102 |
| Kareena Kapoor Khan | I don't take success and failure seriously. The only thing I do seriously is march forward. If I fall, I get up and march again. | 102 |
| Karen Salmansohn | The grass is always greener on the other side - until you get there and see it's AstroTurf. Symbols are never reality. Someone might have amassed material success and fame, but that doesn't mean they're happy. So, don't go judging a person's life by the cover. | 102 |
| Kiana Tom | When I meet successful people I ask 100 questions as to what they attribute their success to. It is usually the same: persistence, hard work and hiring good people. | 102 |
| Larry King | Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves. | 102 |
| Leonard Boswell | The American Dream is one of success, home ownership, college education for one's children, and have a secure job to provide these and other goals. | 102 |
| Maharishi Mahesh Yogi | Problems or successes, they all are the results of our own actions. Karma. The philosophy of action is that no one else is the giver of peace or happiness. One's own karma, one's own actions are responsible to come to bring either happiness or success or whatever. | 102 |
| Manny Pacquiao | All those who are around me are the bridge to my success, so they are all important. | 102 |
| Marianne Williamson | The new midlife is where you realize that even your failures make you more beautiful and are turned spiritually into success if you became a better person because of them. You became a more humble person. You became a more merciful and compassionate person. | 102 |
| Mario Andretti | Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek. | 102 |
| Naveen Jain | Success doesn't necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won't win a game or a battle; the win comes from basic blocking and tackling. | 102 |
| Noel Gallagher | Fame is something that is bestowed upon you because of success. Success is something you have to chase. | 102 |
| Oliver Goldsmith | Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall. | 102 |
| Orison Swett Marden | Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds. | 102 |
| Paul J. Meyer | Communication - the human connection - is the key to personal and career success. | 102 |
| Paul Sweeney | True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful. | 102 |
| Phil Knight | There is an immutable conflict at work in life and in business, a constant battle between peace and chaos. Neither can be mastered, but both can be influenced. How you go about that is the key to success. | 102 |
| Ram Dass | You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don't have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success - none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here. | 102 |
| Ricky Williams | There's more to life than success, and if you can try to be more well-rounded, you'll be able to enjoy your success more. It won't own you or control you. | 102 |
| Robert Collier | Success is the sum of small efforts - repeated day in and day out. | 102 |
| Samuel Smiles | The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved. | 102 |
| Sarah Ban Breathnach | Always remember that striving and struggle precede success, even in the dictionary. | 102 |
| Satya Nadella | Be passionate and bold. Always keep learning. You stop doing useful things if you don't learn. So the last part to me is the key, especially if you have had some initial success. It becomes even more critical that you have the learning 'bit' always switched on. | 102 |
| Sebastian Thrun | If we study learning as a data science, we can reverse engineer the human brain and tailor learning techniques to maximize the chances of student success. This is the biggest revolution that could happen in education, turning it into a data-driven science, and not such a medieval set of rumors professors tend to carry on. | 102 |
| Ursula Burns | As I've progressed in my career, I've come to appreciate - and really value - the other attributes that define a company's success beyond the P&L: great leadership, long-term financial strength, ethical business practices, evolving business strategies, sound governance, powerful brands, values-based decision-making. | 102 |
| Vicki Baum | Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole. | 102 |
| Walter Pater | To burn always with this hard, gem-like flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life. | 102 |
| Wendy Kopp | We are looking for a set of personal characteristics that predict success, the first and foremost of which is perseverance in the face of challenges. We also look for the ability to influence and motivate others who share your values, strong problem-solving ability, and leadership. | 102 |
| William Pollard | Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow. | 102 |
| Aimee Bender | There's a spectrum of those moments of connection and the moments we fail to connect, going from super-large successes to failures. Success would be love, I guess, and failure could still be love, but the bad side; and loss. | 102 |
| Alain Prost | I have no problem with the people who work hard to get success. But I think people are very jealous about success. I work very hard and they don't appreciate that. | 102 |
| Bill Owens | True leadership lies in guiding others to success. In ensuring that everyone is performing at their best, doing the work they are pledged to do and doing it well. | 102 |
| Bill Rancic | Ask any successful person to look back over the events of his or her life, and chances are there'll be a turning point of one kind or another. It doesn't matter if that success has come on a ball field or in a boardroom, in a research laboratory or on a campaign trail - it can usually be traced to some pivotal moment. | 102 |
| Catherine Zeta-Jones | For marriage to be a success, every woman and every man should have her and his own bathroom. The end. | 102 |
| Chad Hurley | I think the success around any product is really about subtle insights. You need a great product and a bigger vision to execute against, but it's really those small things that make the big difference. | 102 |
| Charlotte Whitton | It's how you deal with failure that determines how you achieve success. | 102 |
| Dale Turner | Some of the best lessons we ever learn are learned from past mistakes. The error of the past is the wisdom and success of the future. | 102 |
| David O. McKay | Let us realize that: the privilege to work is a gift, the power to work is a blessing, the love of work is success! | 102 |
| Debra Messing | You just hope that you will get the opportunity to do what you love and pay your bills, and that is being a success as an actor. | 102 |
| Dhanush | You can't always expect to work with a director who guarantees success. | 102 |
| Elisabeth Shue | I don't think 'Cocktail' was a perfect critical success, but it touched a vein in our culture. | 102 |
| James Cameron | If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone else's success. | 102 |
| James Cash Penney | The art of effective listening is essential to clear communication, and clear communication is necessary to management success. | 102 |
| Joe Namath | When you win, nothing hurts. | 102 |
| John McEnroe | Everybody loves success, but they hate successful people. | 102 |
| Lydia M. Child | Belief in oneself is one of the most important bricks in building any successful venture. | 102 |
| Matt Cameron | No matter how much success you're having, you can't continue working together if you can't communicate. | 102 |
| Michael Dell | You don't have to be a genius or a visionary or even a college graduate to be successful. You just need a framework and a dream. | 102 |
| Paula Creamer | Find a good teacher that will keep the game fun. Work hard and don't be afraid to have success or disappointment. That is what golf is all about. | 102 |
| Peter Agre | Written in 1895, Alfred Nobel's will endowed prizes for scientific research in chemistry, physics, and medicine. At that time, these fields were narrowly defined, and researchers were often classically trained in only one discipline. In the late 19th century, knowledge of science was not a requisite for success in other walks of life. | 102 |
| Robert W. Service | It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones who win in the lifelong race. | 102 |
| Rosalind Russell | Success is a public affair. Failure is a private funeral. | 102 |
| Tommy Shaw | Success is fickle, but creativity is a gift. | 102 |
| Akon | Whatever obstacle comes your way, you gotta be prepared to jump over it! And I think that's what separates the legends from the regular artists. It's all in how you manage that success, and how you deal with the controversy when it actually comes. | 102 |
| Bea Arthur | PETA has a proven track record of success. Each victory PETA wins for the animals is a stepping stone upon which we build a more compassionate world for all beings - and we will never give up our fight until all animals are treated with respect and kindness. | 102 |
| Chen Guangbiao | When I was 4 years old, my brother and sister died of hunger, so I achieved my success through confidence, self-motivation and my hard work. | 102 |
| David Foster | I am uncompromising to the point of huge dissension in the studio. And it's served me very well. My theory and my philosophy is, 'Compromise breeds mediocrity.' Obviously, you have to pick your battles, and the more success an artist has, the more they want to be involved in their own career, which is not necessarily a good thing. | 102 |
| Harvey V. Fineberg | Evolution does not necessarily favor the longest-lived. It doesn't necessarily favor the biggest or the strongest or the fastest, and not even the smartest. Evolution favors those creatures best adapted to their environment. That is the sole test of survival and success. | 102 |
| Henry J. Heinz | To do a common thing uncommonly well brings success. | 102 |
| Jessye Norman | One needs more than ambition and talent to make a success of anything, really. There must be love and a vocation. | 102 |
| Juliana Hatfield | If you want to achieve things in life, you've just got to do them, and if you're talented and smart, you'll succeed. | 102 |
| Kenny Marchant | I wish the Peace Corps and its volunteers continued success and perseverance. We are grateful for their contributions to society and dedication to providing assistance where it is needed. May the Peace Corps continue its legacy of service, both at home and abroad. | 102 |
| Lindsey Wixson | Real success is not, like, materialistic. It's being where you want to be when you want to be; just living your life how you feel; having an ultimate goal and being able to accomplish it. | 102 |
| Mark Skousen | Taxation is the price we pay for failing to build a civilized society. The higher the tax level, the greater the failure. A centrally planned totalitarian state represents a complete defeat for the civilized world, while a totally voluntary society represents its ultimate success. | 102 |
| Percy Ross | You've got to ask! Asking is, in my opinion, the world's most powerful - and neglected - secret to success and happiness. | 102 |
| Rani Mukerji | I'm not bothered about what people say behind my back. I don't need to know about it. I believe in living my life and doing my work. God will give you success. And even if He doesn't, there's a lesson to be learnt. | 102 |
| Richard Lugar | If I could offer but one helpful hint to young Hoosiers hoping to better their odds for success in life, I would simply note the importance of thoughtful reading. | 102 |
| Sharad Pawar | I am fully aware that everybody has a right to succeed, and success should be with ethics. | 102 |
| Shawn Achor | Success does not mean happiness. Check out any celebrity magazine to look for examples to disabuse you of thinking that being beautiful, successful or rich will make you happy. | 102 |
| Anna Pavlova | To follow, without halt, one aim: that's the secret of success. | 102 |
| Danny Thomas | All of us are born for a reason, but all of us don't discover why. Success in life has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It's what you do for others. | 102 |
| George A. Sheehan | Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be. | 102 |
| Josh Turner | Life is a series of punches. It presents a lot of challenges. It presents a lot of hardship, but the people that are able to take those punches and able to move forward are the ones that really do have a lot of success and have a lot of joy in their life and have a lot of stories to tell, too. | 102 |
| Larry Craig | Breast cancer deaths in America have been declining for more than a decade. Much of that success is due to early detection and better treatments for women. I strongly encourage women to get a mammogram. | 102 |
| Laurence D. Fink | One of the key elements of human behavior is, humans have a greater fear of loss than enjoyment of success. All the academic studies will show you that the fear of loss of capital is far greater than the enjoyment of gains. | 102 |
| Mark Caine | The successful man doesn't use others, other people use the successful man, for above all the success is of service. | 102 |
| Monica Seles | That's the key to success, isn't it? It has to be fun. | 102 |
| Peter James | There are people who can achieve huge success in life, while adding a bit of fun and a splash of colour to this increasingly grey world. | 102 |
| Richard Marx | But once you have some success in one style, the business wants to lock you in that vein forever. | 102 |
| Sam Ewing | Success has a simple formula: do your best, and people may like it. | 102 |
| Selena | What's really cool about our family is that we don't hold grudges, and I think that is what's been the key to the success. We get into our little disagreements, and whether we're right or wrong, we'll go and apologize. That's just the way we are. | 102 |
| Millicent Fawcett | The assertion of failure coming from such persons does not mean that Mr. Mill failed to promote the practical success of those objects the advocacy of which forms the chief feature of his political writings. | 102 |
| Roger Wicker | It is no coincidence that our country has not been attacked since 9-11. Our initiatives to protect the homeland and aggressively take the fight to the terrorists have been factors in that success. | 102 |
| Ron Eglash | The reason that Google was such a success is because they were the first ones to take advantage of the self-organizing properties of the web. It's in ecological sustainability. It's in the developmental power of entrepreneurship, the ethical power of democracy. | 102 |
| Sloan Wilson | Success in almost any field depends more on energy and drive than it does on intelligence. This explains why we have so many stupid leaders. | 102 |
| Alan Price | The one phrase you can use is that success has a thousand fathers, and failure is an orphan. | 102 |
| Michael Azerrad | For Nirvana, putting out their first major-label record was like getting into a new car. But the runaway success was like suddenly discovering that the car was a Ferrari and the accelerator pedal was Krazy Glued to the floorboard. | 102 |
| Robert Foster Bennett | A desire to be in charge of our own lives, a need for control, is born in each of us. It is essential to our mental health, and our success, that we take control. | 102 |
| Sydney Madwed | If you want to be truly successful invest in yourself to get the knowledge you need to find your unique factor. When you find it and focus on it and persevere your success will blossom. | 102 |
| Mike McCarthy | I think success is the biggest challenge you have to handle in the National Football League; that's something we talk about a lot. | 102 |
| Jason Babin | My success is the team's success. It's one of those things to a certain degree that it's effort and ability but also how I benefit from what my teammates do, and then it is up to me to perform. | 102 |
| Winston Churchill | Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. | 103 |
| Colin Powell | There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. | 103 |
| F. Scott Fitzgerald | A great social success is a pretty girl who plays her cards as carefully as if she were plain. | 103 |
| George S. Patton | Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom. | 103 |
| Henry Ford | If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself. | 103 |
| Lyndon B. Johnson | Our purpose in Vietnam is to prevent the success of aggression. It is not conquest, it is not empire, it is not foreign bases, it is not domination. It is, simply put, just to prevent the forceful conquest of South Vietnam by North Vietnam. | 103 |
| Nicki Minaj | You wanna know what scares people? Success. When you don't make moves and when you don't climb up the ladder, everybody loves you because you're not competition. | 103 |
| Pablo Picasso | Action is the foundational key to all success. | 103 |
| Booker T. Washington | Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. | 103 |
| Charles de Montesquieu | In most things success depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed. | 103 |
| David Icke | A friend at school was always being laughed at because his father emptied dustbins for a living. But those who laughed worshipped famous footballers. This is an example of our topsy-turvy view of 'success.' Who would we miss most if they did not work for a month, the footballer or the garbage collector? | 103 |
| John D. Rockefeller | If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success. | 103 |
| John Maynard Keynes | The decadent international but individualistic capitalism in the hands of which we found ourselves after the war is not a success. It is not intelligent. It is not beautiful. It is not just. It is not virtuous. And it doesn't deliver the goods. | 103 |
| Maria Montessori | The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.' | 103 |
| Andrew Lloyd Webber | What strikes me is that there's a very fine line between success and failure. Just one ingredient can make the difference. | 103 |
| Arthur Ashe | One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation. | 103 |
| Ashley Montagu | One goes through school, college, medical school and one's internship learning little or nothing about goodness but a good deal about success. | 103 |
| Brett Favre | Because after my first year I had a lot of success, took everybody by storm, came back the next year thought it was easy and didn't have near the season I had the previous year. It was kind of a wake-up call. And so, life goes on. | 103 |
| Brian Tracy | The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear. | 103 |
| Danica Patrick | I just go where my heart tells me, where my gut tells me to go, where I'm enjoying my life the most, where I feel like I can have the most success. I've truly enjoyed my experience in NASCAR, to the point that I want to do it full time. | 103 |
| Elizabeth Taylor | Success is a great deodorant. | 103 |
| Eric Ries | Start-up success is not a consequence of good genes or being in the right place at the right time. Success can be engineered by following the right process, which means it can be learned, which means it can be taught. | 103 |
| Florence Scovel Shinn | No man is a success in business unless he loves his work. | 103 |
| Gordon Brown | We need quantitative assessments of the success of education. We need certification and qualifications both for teachers and for pupils. It is not a choice between quantity and quality, between access and excellence. Both of these will happen together if people really do believe in the importance of education to change lives. | 103 |
| Hideo Kojima | My biggest failure is 'Metal Gear.' It's my biggest failure and my biggest success. | 103 |
| Isoroku Yamamoto | In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success. | 103 |
| John P. Kotter | Great leaders understand that historical success tends to produce stable and inwardly focused organizations, and these outfits, in turn, reinforce a feeling of contentment with the status quo. | 103 |
| Kelly Wearstler | The single most important key to success is to be a good listener. | 103 |
| Matthew McConaughey | We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success. | 103 |
| Miguel de Cervantes | In order to attain the impossible, one must attempt the absurd. | 103 |
| Mitt Romney | Our worldly successes cannot be guaranteed, but our ability to achieve spiritual success is entirely up to us, thanks to the grace of God. The best advice I know is to give is to give those worldly things your best but never your all - reserve the ultimate hope for the only one who can grant it. | 103 |
| Nolan Ryan | Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt. Only by being open to change will you have a true opportunity to get the most from your talent. | 103 |
| Patricia Cornwell | Survival was my only hope, success my only revenge. | 103 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way. | 103 |
| Sia Furler | When I was 10, my parents really valued success in the arts, and I thought if I was a famous 'something artistic,' that they would love me more. | 103 |
| Timothy Noah | Success is a wonderful thing, but it tends not to be the sort of experience that we learn from. We enjoy it; perhaps we even deserve it. But we don't acquire wisdom from it. | 103 |
| Tony Dungy | The secret to success is good leadership, and good leadership is all about making the lives of your team members or workers better. | 103 |
| Ursula Andress | This bikini made me a success. | 103 |
| Victor Kiam | An entrepreneur assumes the risk and is dedicated and committed to the success of whatever he or she undertakes. | 103 |
| Victoria Principal | Success doesn't mean that you are healthy, success doesn't mean that you're happy, success doesn't mean that you're rested. Success really doesn't mean that you look good, or feel good, or are good. | 103 |
| Virender Sehwag | The most important thing for any athlete is to know his ability. If you know your ability and have even a little bit of a strong mindset, you can get success, because your ability takes you to success. | 103 |
| Wilbur Wright | I am an enthusiast, but not a crank in the sense that I have some pet theories as to the proper construction of a flying machine. I wish to avail myself of all that is already known and then, if possible, add my mite to help on the future worker who will attain final success. | 103 |
| Wynonna Judd | My story of success and failure is not just about music and being famous. It's about living and loving and trying to find purpose in this crazy world. | 103 |
| Zach Galifianakis | I used to be really cute. I could send you earlier photos where I'm stunning. But I've gained about twenty pounds over the past two years, and the more weight I've put on, the more success I've had. If you drew a diagram of weight gain and me getting more work, a mathematician would draw some conclusions from that. | 103 |
| Zebulon Pike | If success attends my steps, honor and glory await my name-if defeat, still shall it be said we died like brave men, and conferred honor, even in death, on the American Name. | 103 |
| Daley Thompson | We crave instant success these days. If you are a really good sprinter and long jumper, you don't want to spend two or three years on a whole new set of events. You're used to doing well and it's difficult to give that up. | 103 |
| Dorothea Brande | All that is necessary to break the spell of inertia and frustration is this: Act as if it were impossible to fail. That is the talisman, the formula, the command of right about face which turns us from failure to success. | 103 |
| Edgar Bronfman, Sr. | The majesty of the American Jewish experience is in its success marrying its unique Jewish identity with the larger, liberal values of the United States. There is no need anymore to choose between assimilation and separation. We are accepted as equals. | 103 |
| Ha-Joon Chang | To put it bluntly, there isn't one economic theory that can single-handedly explain Singapore's success; its economy combines extreme features of capitalism and socialism. All theories are partial; reality is complex. | 103 |
| Jane McGonigal | Urgent optimism is the desire to act immediately to tackle an obstacle, combined with the belief that we have a reasonable hope of success. | 103 |
| Keith Henson | Evolution acts slowly. Our psychological characteristics today are those that promoted reproductive success in the ancestral environment. | 103 |
| Macaulay Culkin | My father was overbearing. Very controlling. He was always the way he is, even before my success. He was not always a good person. He'd play mind games to make sure I knew my place. I don't see him, which is unfortunate. But I don't have any desire to see him. I vaguely know where he is, and I don't want to know. | 103 |
| Michael Korda | Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility... in the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have... is the ability to take on responsibility. | 103 |
| Preity Zinta | There will always be competition, especially in showbiz. There's always someone younger and hungrier standing behind you; there's always someone with more contacts; there's always someone whose grandfather or father is a filmmaker. I think your job is just to be there 100% - you work hard, and there are no shortcuts to success. | 103 |
| Steve Vai | If I remain true to what's in my heart, that's all the success I need. | 103 |
| Steven Weber | The flaw in, say, austerity, is that its success is predicated on the relative exactitude of math rather than the shifting, liquid imperfection of people's lives. | 103 |
| Tom Shadyac | I think true success is intrinsic... It's love. It's kindness. It's community. | 103 |
| Anna Held | Whatever success I may have attained is due to the fact that since I was old enough to work at all, my ambition has never deserted me. | 103 |
| Bob Riley | No skill shapes a child's future success in school or in life more than the ability to read. | 103 |
| Brad D. Smith | I've always valued and encouraged teamwork, and that collaborative spirit of we versus I is core to Intuit's success. Innovation has been part of Intuit's DNA for nearly 30 years. | 103 |
| Charles Buxton | Success soon palls. The joyous time is when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows. | 103 |
| Christie Hefner | I don't think about financial success as the measurement of my success. | 103 |
| David LaChapelle | Success to me is being a good person, treating people well. | 103 |
| Ernest Istook | Instead of this confusion, we need the unifying force of an official language, English, which is the language of success in America. | 103 |
| Jaclyn Smith | Success is carved out of a hard tree. It doesn't just happen. It's people who stick to it that succeed. | 103 |
| Julius Erving | The key to success is to keep growing in all areas of life - mental, emotional, spiritual, as well as physical. | 103 |
| Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw | As you become more successful, the gender barrier disappears. The credibility challenges you have during your growing up years starts disappearing when you start demonstrating success. | 103 |
| Lisa Morton | Some say I'm an overnight success. Well, that was a very long night that lasted about 10 years. | 103 |
| Marvin Sapp | A friend of mine said something powerful at his grandfather's funeral. He said that the greatest lesson from his grandfather's life was that he died empty, because he accomplished everything he wanted, with no regrets. I think that, along with leaving a legacy, would be the greatest sign of success. | 103 |
| Sarah Hyland | I think success right now is not about how famous you are or how much you're getting paid, but it's more about if you're steadily working and you're happy with what you're doing. | 103 |
| Tim Holden | A variety of national and international studies indicate that the broad-based deployment of information technology can have a substantial impact on our nation's economic productivity and growth as well as the educational and social success of our citizens. | 103 |
| Rachel Joyce | 'Perfect' is about a set-up that looks perfect from the outside - beautiful country house, beautiful wife and mother, everything where it should be - and the deep fissures that, in fact, lie beneath that. 'Perfect' was partly a response to the shock of my first book, 'The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry,' being a success. | 103 |
| T. Harv Eker | The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success 'permanently' is to reset your financial thermostat. But it is your choice whether you choose to change. | 103 |
| The Edge | Starting a band is the easy part. Once you've formed the band, you have to tell a story, and that story requires songs. And not just good songs, but great songs. After a while, great songs won't do - they have to be the best. Success doesn't make it any easier. Each time I start a new record, it's a brand-new search. | 103 |
| Alan Autry | Every city across the country that has successfully renewed and revitalized itself points to a robust education system as its fundamental key to success. | 103 |
| David Sarnoff | The will to persevere is often the difference between failure and success. | 103 |
| Gabriel Heatter | More power than all the success slogans ever penned by human hand is the realization for every man that he has but one boss. That boss is the man - he - himself. | 103 |
| Michael Crawford | Divorce is never a pleasant experience. You look upon it as a failure. But I learned to be a different person once we broke up. Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success. | 103 |
| John B. S. Haldane | We do not know, in most cases, how far social failure and success are due to heredity, and how far to environment. But environment is the easier of the two to improve. | 103 |
| Jonathan Rhys Meyers | A lot of my success is because of what I look like. I know that. | 103 |
| Major Taylor | These rules may seem simple enough, but it will require great morale and physical courage to adhere to them. But if carried out in the strict sense of the word it will surely lead to a greater success than could otherwise be attained. | 103 |
| Andy Andrews | I am a teacher and the reason I'm a teacher is because I'm learning as hard as I can. I'm not any different from anybody else. I am searching and having some success finding answers. | 103 |
| Jean Kerr | I think success has no rules, but you can learn a great deal from failure. | 103 |
| John Foster Dulles | The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year. | 103 |
| Joshua Waitzkin | One of the main focuses of my training sessions is to help individuals find their unique voices in the learning process. We all have our strengths, our weaknesses, our styles of learning, our personalities. Developing introspective sensitivity to these issues is critical to long-term success. | 103 |
| Albert Einstein | Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. | 104 |
| Nelson Mandela | Money won't create success, the freedom to make it will. | 104 |
| Ayn Rand | The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity. | 104 |
| Bill Gates | It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure. | 104 |
| Margaret Thatcher | People think that at the top there isn't much room. They tend to think of it as an Everest. My message is that there is tons of room at the top. | 104 |
| Michelle Obama | We learned about gratitude and humility - that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean... and we were taught to value everyone's contribution and treat everyone with respect. | 104 |
| Saint Augustine | Do you wish to rise? Begin by descending. You plan a tower that will pierce the clouds? Lay first the foundation of humility. | 104 |
| Vera Wang | Success isn't about the end result, it's about what you learn along the way. | 104 |
| Steve Harvey | God lets you be successful because he trusts you that you will do the right thing with it. Now, does he get disappointed often? All the time, because people get there and they forget how they got it. | 104 |
| W. Clement Stone | Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying. | 104 |
| Zig Ziglar | The foundation stones for a balanced success are honesty, character, integrity, faith, love and loyalty. | 104 |
| Arundhati Roy | Years of imprisoning and beheading writers never succeeded in shutting them out. However, placing them in the heart of a market and rewarding them with a lot of commercial success, has. | 104 |
| Barbara Walters | Success can make you go one of two ways. It can make you a prima donna - or it can smooth the edges, take away the insecurities, let the nice things come out. | 104 |
| Betsey Johnson | Real success is being totally indulgent about your own trip. You put your blinders on about the garbage and go full speed ahead. | 104 |
| David Chang | I constantly think I'm a fraud - that this success is not warranted or justified. | 104 |
| Earl Nightingale | Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal. | 104 |
| Eric Ries | The biggest start-up successes - from Henry Ford to Bill Gates to Mark Zuckerberg - were pioneered by people from solidly middle-class backgrounds. These founders were not wealthy when they began. They were hungry for success, but knew they had a solid support system to fall back on if they failed. | 104 |
| Erwin Rommel | Anyone who has to fight, even with the most modern weapons, against an enemy in complete command of the air, fights like a savage against modern European troops, under the same handicaps and with the same chances of success. | 104 |
| Hank Aaron | Failure is a part of success. | 104 |
| Harvey S. Firestone | Success is the sum of details. | 104 |
| Kathy Ireland | If we get our self-esteem from superficial places, from our popularity, appearance, business success, financial situation, health, any of these, we will be disappointed, because no one can guarantee that we'll have them tomorrow. | 104 |
| Martha Stewart | Without an open-minded mind, you can never be a great success. | 104 |
| Martin Seligman | It is the combination of reasonable talent and the ability to keep going in the face of defeat that leads to success. | 104 |
| Nayvadius Cash | I want to let little kids know that no matter what situation they come up in, that they're not exempt from success. All I ever wanted was for people to believe in me and just recognize my potential. I came, I struggled, I made it, I conquered. | 104 |
| Paramahansa Yogananda | The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success. | 104 |
| Ross Perot | Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown. | 104 |
| T.I. | It goes without saying that it's hard to attain a certain level of success. | 104 |
| Walter Cronkite | I can't imagine a person becoming a success who doesn't give this game of life everything he's got. | 104 |
| Wiz Khalifa | I have an idea of who I want to be, I have a vision of my own success. | 104 |
| Allan Bloom | Fathers and mothers have lost the idea that the highest aspiration they might have for their children is for them to be wise... specialized competence and success are all that they can imagine. | 104 |
| Angela Ahrendts | Intuition is the wisdom formed by feeling and instinct - a gift of knowing without reasoning... Belief is ignited by hope and supported by facts and evidence - it builds alignment and creates confidence. Belief is what sets energy in motion and creates the success that breeds more success. | 104 |
| Brad Thor | Success leaves clues, and if you sow the same seeds, you'll reap the same rewards. | 104 |
| Chet Faker | Learning to appreciate those things that aren't related to success has proved the biggest lesson. | 104 |
| David Joseph Schwartz | Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. | 104 |
| James Cash Penney | Success cannot come from standstill men. Methods change and men must change with them. | 104 |
| James D. Watson | The ever quickening advances of science made possible by the success of the Human Genome Project will also soon let us see the essences of mental disease. Only after we understand them at the genetic level can we rationally seek out appropriate therapies for such illnesses as schizophrenia and bipolar disease. | 104 |
| Kailash Kher | Just like gold, which has to weather very high temperatures to achieve the sheen and shine it finally gets, so also every person has to go through struggles in his life to achieve success. | 104 |
| Mahesh Babu | The only thing I have learnt over the years is that if you enjoy your work and put in the best efforts, it will show. If you follow this process, things work out. But if you go chasing a formula, success will elude you. | 104 |
| Rick Renzi | I believe there should be no arbitrary date set for withdrawal and yet no permanent, unending deployment. No cut and run, yet measured progress in helping a people who want to be free without an illusion of overnight success. | 104 |
| Claude M. Bristol | Thought is the original source of all wealth, all success, all material gain, all great discoveries and inventions, and of all achievement. | 104 |
| Chesty Puller | My definition, a definition in the drill books from the time that General Von Steuben wrote the regulations for General George Washington, the definition of the object of military training is success in battle... It wouldn't be any sense to have a military organization on the backs of the American taxpayers with any other definition. | 104 |
| Dominique Moceanu | I don't think ethical people deal with intimidation as a method to achieve success. Undermining someone's self-esteem isn't a method to achieve success. | 104 |
| George Allen, Sr. | People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to. | 104 |
| Gerhard Richter | I have no time for specialized concerns, working themes or variations that lead to mastery... I like the indefinite, the boundless; I like continual uncertainty. Other qualities may be more conducive to achievement, publicity, success; but they are all outworn - as outworn as ideologies, opinions, concepts and names for things. | 104 |
| Jean Giraudoux | The secret of success is sincerity. | 104 |
| Shawn Achor | Our daily decisions and habits have a huge impact upon both our levels of happiness and success. | 104 |
| Bernard Meltzer | Success is getting and achieving what you want. Happiness is wanting and being content with what you get. | 104 |
| Dan Millman | Willpower is the key to success. Successful people strive no matter what they feel by applying their will to overcome apathy, doubt or fear. | 104 |
| Jimmy Chamberlin | My brother and I had a real love-hate relationship with my success. There was some bitterness there that I didn't understand until recently, but I told him that if I ever did a record I wanted him to play on it. | 104 |
| Roger Babson | It is wise to keep in mind that neither success nor failure is ever final. | 104 |
| Joey Adams | Rockefeller once explained the secret of success. 'Get up early, work late - and strike oil.' | 104 |
| Benjamin Franklin | Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. | 105 |
| C. S. Lewis | Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success. | 105 |
| Marilyn Monroe | Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you. | 105 |
| John C. Maxwell | The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda. | 105 |
| Sigmund Freud | If a man has been his mother's undisputed darling he retains throughout life the triumphant feeling, the confidence in success, which not seldom brings actual success along with it. | 105 |
| Ben Carson | Education is a fundamental principle of what made America a success. We can't afford to throw any young people away. | 105 |
| Denis Waitley | Success is almost totally dependent upon drive and persistence. The extra energy required to make another effort or try another approach is the secret of winning. | 105 |
| John D. Rockefeller | I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature. | 105 |
| Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. | Young man, the secret of my success is that at early age I discovered that I was not God. | 105 |
| Sophocles | There is no success without hardship. | 105 |
| Tennessee Williams | Success is blocked by concentrating on it and planning for it... Success is shy - it won't come out while you're watching. | 105 |
| Will Smith | Money and success don't change people; they merely amplify what is already there. | 105 |
| Woody Hayes | Success is the only motivational factor that a boy with character needs. | 105 |
| Arlen Specter | My father was an immigrant who literally walked across Europe to get out of Russia. He fought in World War I. He was wounded in action. My father was a great success even though he never had money. He was a very determined man, a great role model. | 105 |
| Arthur Ashe | Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome. | 105 |
| B. C. Forbes | The man who has done his level best... is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure. | 105 |
| Ben Shapiro | Socialism has no moral justification whatsoever; poor people are not morally superior to rich people, nor are they owed anything by rich people simply because of their lack of success. Charity is not a socialist concept - it is a religious one, an acknowledgment of God's sovereignty over property, a sovereignty the Left utterly rejects. | 105 |
| Beth Brooke | My dad would always say, 'Girl, you've been given gifts. Use them.' And what he meant by that was, 'Don't just be successful. Don't just use your talents for your own success. But make a difference with them. Do something significant.' And when I put those two things together, it just causes me to not accept the status quo. | 105 |
| Charlie Sheen | As kids we're not taught how to deal with success; we're taught how to deal with failure. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. If at first you succeed, then what? | 105 |
| Christopher Morley | There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way. | 105 |
| Clayton Christensen | There is no evidence that success in business will make us happy people or allow us to have happy families. | 105 |
| Colin Farrell | I mean, we are tribal by nature, and sometimes success and material wealth can divide and separate - it's not a new philosophy I'm sharing - more than hardship, hardship tends to unify. | 105 |
| Florence Scovel Shinn | You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which 'clicks.' | 105 |
| Grace Slick | My parents were very open about what kind of talent I had. They never pushed me to become an accountant because they knew that would be just absolutely ridiculous. So they were encouraging in what I am able to do with some success. | 105 |
| Herschel Walker | Success is just being happy. And I try so many different things. I do a lot of different things. Because I think God has helped me to love myself. I know who God is, and I love God. | 105 |
| Iain Duncan Smith | Kids are meant to believe that their stepping stone to massive money is 'The X Factor.' Luck is great, but most of life is hard work. We do not celebrate people who have made success out of serious hard work. | 105 |
| John Forbes Nash, Jr. | Though I had success in my research both when I was mad and when I was not, eventually I felt that my work would be better respected if I thought and acted like a 'normal' person. | 105 |
| Jon Bon Jovi | Success is falling nine times and getting up ten. | 105 |
| Karen Salmansohn | When you have a 'solution thinking mindset' - and choose to focus 80% of your thoughts/words on solutions - you will not only be heading more speedily to long-term success, but you will immediately feel better in the moment. | 105 |
| Kid Rock | You've got to work hard for your success and you've got to have a steady presence. That's the secret. | 105 |
| Larry Flynt | The only question to ask yourself is, how much are you willing to sacrifice to achieve this success? | 105 |
| Louis Pasteur | Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal. My strength lies solely in my tenacity. | 105 |
| Luis Suarez | All I can say is that I have arrived with the desire to be a success at Barca, that I am hungry to win titles. | 105 |
| Luke Bryan | A lot of people don't have near the amount of success as I've been blessed to have, and it's all about working hard and hoping that continues. | 105 |
| Marina and the Diamonds | There's no one particular road that will lead you to success. I think everybody will find it differently. | 105 |
| Maxwell Maltz | Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today. | 105 |
| Navjot Singh Sidhu | Nobody travels on the road to success without a puncture or two. | 105 |
| Nick Nolte | Success comes to you with luck and a lot of hard work, but it doesn't give you the right to be any better than anybody else. | 105 |
| P. G. Wodehouse | Success comes to a writer as a rule, so gradually that it is always something of a shock to him to look back and realize the heights to which he has climbed. | 105 |
| Peter Diamandis | Super-ambitious goals tend to be unifying and energizing to people; but only if they believe there's a chance of success. | 105 |
| Robert Collier | Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself. | 105 |
| Robert Kiyosaki | The thing I always say to people is this: 'If you avoid failure, you also avoid success.' | 105 |
| Vivek Wadhwa | A key to achieving success is to assemble a strong and stable management team. | 105 |
| Wentworth Miller | I'm a very competitive person, but competitive with myself. I want to be the best that I can be, and if that means that I'm eventually better than everyone else, then so be it. But I don't go around comparing and contrasting myself with other actors if I can help it. It's also, I think, the key to my success. | 105 |
| William Ellery Channing | How easy to be amiable in the midst of happiness and success. | 105 |
| William J. H. Boetcker | Your success depends mainly upon what you think of yourself and whether you believe in yourself. | 105 |
| William Shatner | Over the years, I've become barraged by comments from people, such as, 'Beam me up, Scotty!' and I became defensive. I felt they were derisive and engendered an attitude. I am grateful for the success, but didn't want to be mocked. | 105 |
| Yann Arthus-Bertrand | To have success in your professional life is not so hard. To succeed as a man is more difficult. | 105 |
| Al Yankovic | As my father used to tell me, the only true sign of success in life is being able to do for a living that which makes you happy. | 105 |
| Bethenny Frankel | I thought doing reality TV would be the greatest success of my life or the biggest mistake. | 105 |
| Bryan Adams | There's not an instruction manual on how to deal with success, so you just have to rely on having great friends and a good team. | 105 |
| Damien Rice | When I started off in music, I started with a real innocence, a real love for the instrument, the writing the songs, the playing the songs and the sharing and the recording and experimenting. It was exciting. Then, this thing called success came, and something happened at some point where I became disenchanted, and I lost the innocence. | 105 |
| Donald Miller | Every human being is searching for a deep sense of meaning, and yet we're all chasing success. We've confused one for the other. | 105 |
| Eugene Jarecki | My father left Nazi Germany a year after Dr. Kissinger, and so in my household he was very much an icon. He was a kind of immigrant success story, a refugee success story. | 105 |
| Eva Longoria | I got my degree. More importantly, I got a key to American opportunity. That's who we are - a nation that rewards ambition with opportunity. Where hard work can lead to success, no matter where you start. | 105 |
| Hakeem Olajuwon | I was successful materially, but I know life is much more than worldly success. I saw all these blessings God had given me. The way to give thanks is obedience to God. | 105 |
| Joseph Prince | As you walk in God's divine wisdom, you will surely begin to see a greater measure of victory and good success in your life. | 105 |
| Julian Baggini | The optimist underestimates how difficult it is to achieve real change, believing that anything is possible and it's possible now. Only by confronting head-on the reality that all progress is going to be obstructed by vested interests and corrupted by human venality can we create realistic programmes that actually have a chance of success. | 105 |
| Ranbir Kapoor | I'm quite detached from failure and success. Once a shooting is done, I kind of close that chapter in my life. | 105 |
| Soichiro Honda | Success represents the 1% of your work which results from the 99% that is called failure. | 105 |
| Soledad O'Brien | There are thousands of inspirational stories waiting to be told about young women who yearn for a great education. They are stories of struggle and stories of success, and they will inspire others to take action and work to change lives. | 105 |
| William C. Bryant | Winning isn't everything, but it beats anything in second place. | 105 |
| Anupam Kher | Success is boring... failure is exciting and more entertaining. | 105 |
| Rahul Dravid | One of the great joys of being a slip fielder who takes a catch is you are able to contribute to the bowler's success. Yes, you are putting yourself in the firing line if you stuff it up, but you must want to be in that position to make a difference, and recognise sometimes that you might make mistakes. There are no easy catches in the slips. | 105 |
| Gary Ryan Blair | Creative risk taking is essential to success in any goal where the stakes are high. Thoughtless risks are destructive, of course, but perhaps even more wasteful is thoughtless caution which prompts inaction and promotes failure to seize opportunity. | 105 |
| Joseph Murray | Post-operatively the transplanted kidney functioned immediately with a dramatic improvement in the patient's renal and cardiopulmonary status. This spectacular success was a clear demonstration that organ transplantation could be life-saving. | 105 |
| Charles J. Givens | To design the future effectively, you must first let go of your past. | 105 |
| Helen Keller | Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. | 106 |
| Arnold Schwarzenegger | Just remember, you can't climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets. | 106 |
| Dale Carnegie | Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. | 106 |
| Napoleon Hill | Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another. | 106 |
| Steve Harvey | A person has to remember that the road to success is always under construction. You have to get that through your head. That it is not easy becoming successful. | 106 |
| Wayne Gretzky | Procrastination is one of the most common and deadliest of diseases and its toll on success and happiness is heavy. | 106 |
| Al Green | Teach success before teaching responsibility. Teach them to believe in themselves. Teach them to think, 'I'm not stupid'. No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed. | 106 |
| Alexander Graham Bell | The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion. | 106 |
| Ann Landers | There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat. | 106 |
| Anne Sullivan | People seldom see the halting and painful steps by which the most insignificant success is achieved. | 106 |
| Bernie Mac | There's no success story. Everybody's got a ghetto story. You always want to make it bigger than what it is. | 106 |
| Big Sean | Fame necessarily isn't really tied to success at all. Fame is just being recognized for doing what you do, whether it's good or bad. Osama bin Laden was famous. | 106 |
| Democritus | Raising children is an uncertain thing; success is reached only after a life of battle and worry. | 106 |
| Don Shula | The one thing that I know is that you win with good people. | 106 |
| Eddie Rickenbacker | I can give you a six-word formula for success: Think things through - then follow through. | 106 |
| Ellen Glasgow | A tragic irony of life is that we so often achieve success or financial independence after the chief reason for which we sought it has passed away. | 106 |
| George Burns | I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate. | 106 |
| James Dyson | In the digital age of 'overnight' success stories such as Facebook, the hard slog is easily overlooked. | 106 |
| Jerry Rice | I've grown over the years and I know how to adapt to situations, where I can go into a situation where there's a crowd of people and just take over. But pretty much I'm off to myself. And I'm totally committed to the game of football. That's why I've had so much success. | 106 |
| Kevin Bacon | Part of being a man is learning to take responsibility for your successes and for your failures. You can't go blaming others or being jealous. Seeing somebody else's success as your failure is a cancerous way to live. | 106 |
| Lupe Fiasco | That should be the measure of success for everyone. It's not money, it's not fame, it's not celebrity; my index of success is happiness. | 106 |
| Mike Ditka | Success isn't permanent and failure isn't fatal. | 106 |
| Robert Collier | The first principle of success is desire - knowing what you want. Desire is the planting of your seed. | 106 |

| Vivek Wadhwa | Corporate executives and business owners need to realize that there can be no compromise when it comes to ethics, and there are no easy shortcuts to success. Ethics need to be carefully sown into the fabric of their companies. | 106 |
| Walter Scott | Success - keeping your mind awake and your desire asleep. | 106 |
| Will Self | There is a deep sadness to American poverty, greater than the sadness of any other kind. It's because America has such an ideology of success. | 106 |

| Donny Osmond | With success came an ever-growing burden of responsibility. I lived with a near-constant low-level anxiety that I would make a mistake that would not only threaten my career, but also my brothers' - not to mention the livelihoods of many people who work with us or for us. | 106 |
| Gene Fowler | What is success? It is a toy balloon among children armed with pins. | 106 |
| Grace Kelly | I don't want to be married to someone who feels inferior to my success or because I make more money than he does. | 106 |
| Randeep Hooda | I've had my share of struggle. I believe, never take success to your head or failure to your heart. | 106 |

| Justin Rosenstein | Just as the mind emerges from the actions of individual neurons and their cooperation, the success of an organization emerges not only from its individual participants, but also from the interplay between them. | 106 |
| Bob Dylan | What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do. | 107 |
| John Wooden | Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming. | 107 |
| J. Robert Oppenheimer | When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb. | 107 |
| Jay-Z | Hip-hop is more about attaining wealth. People respect success. They respect big. They don't even have to like your music. If you're big enough, people are drawn to you. | 107 |
| Johnny Cash | Success is having to worry about every damn thing in the world, except money. | 107 |
| Brendon Burchard | If you create incredible value and information for others that can change their lives - and you always stay focused on that service - the financial success will follow. | 107 |
| Celine Dion | The hardest thing to find in life is balance - especially, the more success you have, the more you look to the other side of the gate. | 107 |
| Dee Hock | Success follows those adept at preserving the substance of the past by clothing it in the forms of the future. | 107 |
| Frank Luntz | I don't understand why people whose entire lives or their corporate success depends on communication, and yet they are led on occasion by CEOs who cannot talk their way out of a paper bag and don't care to. | 107 |
| Gerald R. Ford | It's the quality of the ordinary, the straight, the square, that accounts for the great stability and success of our nation. It's a quality to be proud of. But it's a quality that many people seem to have neglected. | 107 |
| Jimmy Buffett | Humor has bailed me out of more tight situations than I can think of. If you go with your instincts and keep your humor, creativity follows. With luck, success comes, too. | 107 |
| Joe Paterno | Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good. | 107 |
| Johnny Carson | My success just evolved from working hard at the business at hand each day. | 107 |
| Kate Moss | People think your success is just a matter of having a pretty face. But it's easy to be chewed up and spat out. You've got to stay ahead of the game to be able to stay in it. | 107 |
| Kevin Spacey | It's always the big question in our lives if you have a lot of success. What do you do with it? Buy more houses, buy more cars, buy more stuff, be wealthy and distant and unengaged? Or do you take all that good fortune that has come towards you and spread the love, do something with it? | 107 |
| Luc de Clapiers | The most absurd and reckless aspirations have sometimes led to extraordinary success. | 107 |
| Mia Hamm | Success breeds success. | 107 |
| Naveen Jain | Apple Computer would not have reached its current peak of success if it had feared to roll the dice and launch products that didn't always hit the mark. In the mid-1990s, the company was considered washed up, Steve Jobs had departed, and a string of lackluster product launches unrelated to the company's core business. | 107 |
| Pete Townshend | I needed to give back, give back, give back. I felt guilty about my success. I felt uncomfortable about how easily I had been delivered this extraordinary life that I had. | 107 |
| Rand Paul | American inventiveness and the desire to build developed because we were guaranteed the right to own our success. | 107 |

| Thomas Wolfe | You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments, or publicity. | 107 |
| Tom Petty | Do something you really like, and hopefully it pays the rent. As far as I'm concerned, that's success. | 107 |
| Umberto Eco | In the United States there's a Puritan ethic and a mythology of success. He who is successful is good. In Latin countries, in Catholic countries, a successful person is a sinner. | 107 |
| Vivek Wadhwa | Entrepreneurship is like a computer game in which you have to master every level before achieving success. Startups repeatedly stumble and have to go back to the drawing board. The best way to skip some levels and to increase the odds of survival is to learn from others who have already played the game. | 107 |
| William J. H. Boetcker | Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success. | 107 |
| Akshay Kumar | I'm not hungry for success. I am only hungry for good work, and that is how it is with most superstars. Every day I tell myself how fortunate I am to be where I am. | 107 |
| Andy Stanley | Success means your options multiply. Size increases complexity, and complexity can confuse vision. | 107 |
| Arianna Huffington | We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions, that we'll screw up royally sometimes - understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of success. | 107 |
| Arthur Erickson | The great dream merchant Disney was a success because make-believe was what everyone seemed to need in a spiritually empty land. | 107 |
| Dada Vaswani | Whenever you have taken up work in hand, you must see it to the finish. That is the ultimate secret of success. Never, never, never give up! | 107 |
| Jacqueline Novogratz | Many business leaders are seeing the relationship between long term success and sustainability, and that's very heartening. | 107 |
| Michael Korda | Success has always been easy to measure. It is the distance between one's origins and one's final achievement. | 107 |
| Sidney Sheldon | If there is any secret to my success, I think it's that my characters are very real to me. I feel everything they feel, and therefore I think my readers care about them. | 107 |
| George Allen, Sr. | Success is what you do with your ability. It's how you use your talent. | 107 |
| Anna Pavlova | When a small child, I thought that success spelled happiness. I was wrong, happiness is like a butterfly which appears and delights us for one brief moment, but soon flits away. | 107 |

| Dale Carnegie | The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way. | 108 |
| Niccolo Machiavelli | There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. | 108 |
| Norman Vincent Peale | Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are. | 108 |
| Salvador Dali | The thermometer of success is merely the jealousy of the malcontents. | 108 |
| Tony Robbins | The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you. | 108 |
| Vince Lombardi | The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. | 108 |

| Elbert Hubbard | A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. | 108 |
| Alfred North Whitehead | No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude. | 108 |

| Bo Bennett | Success is about enjoying what you have and where you are, while pursuing achievable goals. | 108 |

| Katy Perry | I'm either going to go completely mental, completely bankrupt, or have the best success of my life. | 108 |
| Kevin O'Leary | You may lose your wife, you may lose your dog, your mother may hate you. None of those things matter. What matters is that you achieve success and become free. Then you can do whatever you like. | 108 |
| Ray Kroc | If you work just for money, you'll never make it, but if you love what you're doing and you always put the customer first, success will be yours. | 108 |
| River Phoenix | We are taught to consume. And that's what we do. But if we realized that there really is no reason to consume, that it's just a mind set, that it's just an addiction, then we wouldn't be out there stepping on people's hands climbing the corporate ladder of success. | 108 |
| Sam Walton | The key to success is to get out into the store and listen to what the associates have to say. | 108 |
| Thomas J. Watson | You can be discouraged by failure, or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes, make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success - on the far side of failure. | 108 |
| Tracy Chapman | I never assumed I would have that commercial success, so it was a total surprise. And honestly, I never assumed that it would ever happen again. | 108 |
| Walter Scott | Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities. | 108 |
| Warren Bennis | Success in management requires learning as fast as the world is changing. | 108 |
| Dada Vaswani | True success, true happiness lies in freedom and fulfillment. | 108 |
| Gwen Stefani | If I wasn't even famous or had any success, I would still wake up and put tons of make-up on, and put on a cool outfit. That's always been who I've been my whole life, so that's never gonna change. I love fashion. I love getting dressed up. I love Halloween, too. | 108 |
| Roberto Cavalli | Sometimes, because of my success, I am afraid that I was not a good father. With the first two I was too strong, and with the other three I was too weak. | 108 |
| Shari Arison | Sustainability is the key to our survival on this planet and will also determine success on all levels. | 108 |
| Sun Tzu | Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack. | 109 |
| Emily Dickinson | Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed. | 109 |
| William James | Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results. | 109 |
| Edmund Hillary | Good planning is important. I've also regarded a sense of humor as one of the most important things on a big expedition. When you're in a difficult or dangerous situation, or when you're depressed about the chances of success, someone who can make you laugh eases the tension. | 109 |
| Jack Welch | I've learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success. | 109 |
| Bo Bennett | Frustration, although quite painful at times, is a very positive and essential part of success. | 109 |
| Dan Gable | There's nothing like success. | 109 |
| Gordon Ramsay | I've had a lot of success; I've had failures, so I learn from the failure. | 109 |

| Johann Sebastian Bach | I was obliged to be industrious. Whoever is equally industrious will succeed equally well. | 109 |
| L'Wren Scott | I don't really measure success by anything other than if I am happy. That is success to me. Am I happy waking up every morning? And despite the challenges of running my own business, do I look forward to going to work? Absolutely. | 109 |
| Martin Van Buren | On receiving from the people the sacred trust twice confided on my illustrious predecessor, and which he has discharged so faithfully and so well, I know that I can not expect to perform the arduous task with equal ability and success. | 109 |
| Mike Ditka | Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. | 109 |
| Queen Latifah | Fear can be good when you're walking past an alley at night or when you need to check the locks on your doors before you go to bed, but it's not good when you have a goal and you're fearful of obstacles. We often get trapped by our fears, but anyone who has had success has failed before. | 109 |
| Shah Rukh Khan | Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble. | 109 |
| Sugar Ray Leonard | Success is attaining your dream while helping others to benefit from that dream materializing. | 109 |
| Thomas J. Watson | If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate. | 109 |
| Vanilla Ice | A lot of people think I was an overnight success, but I was an opening act for three or four years, and then I signed my contract with EMI. Then it kind of blew up overnight. | 109 |
| Amy Tan | I think I've always been somebody, since the deaths of my father and brother, who was afraid to hope. So, I was more prepared for failure and for rejection than for success. | 109 |
| Jeffrey Gitomer | The love of what you do, combined with your belief in what you do, will not determine your success. It will determine how hard you will work and how dedicated you will be to achieving it. Success just shows up from there. | 109 |
| Michael Korda | To have a childhood surrounded by people like Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh sounds glitzy, but for years I wanted to repress it. I couldn't take that kind of power and success. | 109 |
| Sarah McLachlan | I was trying to uphold what I thought feminism was as best I could by supporting women, by trying to create an opportunity to get women to get together, play music together and celebrate the fact that we are having great success making music on our own and together. | 109 |
| Jonas Salk | The worst tragedy that could have befallen me was my success. I knew right away that I was through - cast out. | 109 |
| Marcus Buckingham | It's a special person - and personality - who can lead a start-up to soaring success and sustain that success for the long term. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg are star examples. | 109 |
| Rahul Dravid | What drew me towards team sport were the camaraderie and friendship. The chance to celebrate victory and success with a group of other people is something I have enjoyed doing. | 109 |
| Joseph Barber Lightfoot | The success and the failure are not my concern, but His. | 109 |
| Emily Dickinson | Fortune befriends the bold. | 110 |
| Erma Bombeck | Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other. | 110 |
| George W. Bush | I'm hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure. | 110 |
| John Wooden | Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts. | 110 |
| Denis Waitley | The winner's edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in talent. The winner's edge is all in the attitude, not aptitude. Attitude is the criterion for success. | 110 |
| Bill Cosby | I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. | 110 |
| Fran Lebowitz | Success didn't spoil me, I've always been insufferable. | 110 |
| Horace | The envious man grows lean at the success of his neighbor. | 110 |
| John Madden | The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else. | 110 |
| Johnny Carson | Talent alone won't make you a success. Neither will being in the right place at the right time, unless you are ready. The most important question is: 'Are your ready?' | 110 |
| Kareem Abdul-Jabbar | I am highly offended by the total lack of acknowledgement of my contribution to Laker success. | 110 |
| Mike Krzyzewski | I've been so fortunate in my life that my family has never been jealous of my success. They have shown true love and commitment to me by being supportive. They shared in it. | 110 |
| Myles Munroe | True leaders don't invest in buildings. Jesus never built a building. They invest in people. Why? Because success without a successor is failure. So your legacy should not be in buildings, programs, or projects; your legacy must be in people. | 110 |
| Orison Swett Marden | To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth. The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success. | 110 |
| Ray Kroc | The two most important requirements for major success are: first, being in the right place at the right time, and second, doing something about it. | 110 |
| Shah Rukh Khan | Success and failure are both part of life. Both are not permanent. | 110 |
| Thomas J. Watson | To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business and your business in your heart. | 110 |
| Tommy Lasorda | About the only problem with success is that it does not teach you how to deal with failure. | 110 |
| Tony McCoy | Private dreams are the most powerful. You have to dream of success to make it happen, and if you don't believe in yourself, nobody else will. But that doesn't mean you have to go around telling everyone about it. | 110 |
| Vivek Wadhwa | The lesson is, because there will be many lemons in life, to learn to make the proverbial lemonade - and be open and honest. That's the best way of doing damage control and positioning yourself for success. | 110 |
| Walter Kirn | The success that Americans are said to worship is success of a specific sort: accomplished not through hard work, primarily, but through the ingenious angle, the big break. Sit down at a lunch counter, stand back up a star. Invest in a new issue and watch it soar. Split a single atom, win a war. | 110 |
| Whoopi Goldberg | We're born with success. It is only others who point out our failures, and what they attribute to us as failure. | 110 |
| Carrot Top | It's our nature: Human beings like success but they hate successful people. | 110 |
| Jose Mourinho | But I think it's more normal for my team to have no success than it is to win two consecutive European cups. | 110 |
| Joyce Brothers | Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success. | 110 |
| Lillian Hellman | Success isn't everything but it makes a man stand straight. | 110 |
| Dale Carnegie | Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success. | 111 |
| Gary Vaynerchuk | My store, Wine Library, outsells big national chains. How do you think we do it? It started with hustle. I always say that our success wasn't due to my hundreds of online videos about wine that went viral, but to the hours I spent talking to people online afterward, making connections and building relationships. | 111 |
| Thomas A. Edison | Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. | 111 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Creativity is the key to success in the future, and primary education is where teachers can bring creativity in children at that level. | 111 |
| Robert Baden-Powell | Success in training the boy depends largely on the Scoutmaster's own personal example. | 111 |
| Celine Dion | The hardest thing to find in life is balance - especially the more success you have, the more you look to the other side of the gate. What do I need to stay grounded, in touch, in love, connected, emotionally balanced? Look within yourself. | 111 |
| Felix Dennis | Good ideas are like Nike sports shoes. They may facilitate success for an athlete who possesses them, but on their own they are nothing but an overpriced pair of sneakers. Sports shoes don't win races. Athletes do. | 111 |
| Fidel Castro | They talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America? | 111 |
| Kareem Abdul-Jabbar | If not for the success that medicine has made, I might be part of a much different story right now. | 111 |
| Katy Perry | People talk about bullying, but you can be your own bully in some ways. You can be the person who is standing in the way of your success, and that was the case for me. | 111 |
| Maharishi Mahesh Yogi | Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness. | 111 |
| Novak Djokovic | Well, I do feel that I carry the responsibility of representing my country wherever I am, and this responsibility came with the success that I had in last couple of years, not just myself but the whole group of tennis players that comes from Serbia. And athletes in general are, in this moment, the biggest ambassadors that our country has. | 111 |
| Paul J. Meyer | Success is the progressive realization of predetermined, worthwhile, personal goals. | 111 |
| Ray Kroc | While formal schooling is an important advantage, it is not a guarantee of success nor is its absence a fatal handicap. | 111 |
| Tom Brady | I don't want to wake up and be bored. That's probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team, and certainly one that I've been on for a long time and had success with? I don't plan on giving it up any time soon. | 111 |
| Truman Capote | Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor. | 111 |
| A. R. Rahman | After a point of time, when you get success and fame, money and everything, the purpose of life has to be redefined. For me, I think that purpose is to build bridges. Artists can do that very easily, more than politicians. | 111 |
| Jules Renard | Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others. | 111 |
| George Washington | Discipline is the soul of an army. It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak, and esteem to all. | 112 |
| Booker T. Washington | I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed. | 112 |
| Henri Nouwen | The greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity or power, but self-rejection. | 112 |
| Lionel Messi | You cannot allow your desire to be a winner to be diminished by achieving success before and I believe there is room for improvement in every sportsman. | 112 |
| Margaret Mead | I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings. | 112 |
| William Osler | The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it. | 112 |
| Ben Jonson | Success produces confidence; confidence relaxes industry, and negligence ruins the reputation which accuracy had raised. | 112 |
| Bo Bennett | A rejection is nothing more than a necessary step in the pursuit of success. | 112 |
| Charles Kettering | One fails forward toward success. | 112 |
| Emma Stone | Comedy was my sport. It taught me how to roll with the punches. Failure is the exact same as success when it comes to comedy because it just keeps coming. It never stops. | 112 |
| Henri Matisse | An artist must never be a prisoner. Prisoner? An artist should never be a prisoner of himself, prisoner of style, prisoner of reputation, prisoner of success, etc. | 112 |
| J. Paul Getty | I hate to be a failure. I hate and regret the failure of my marriages. I would gladly give all my millions for just one lasting marital success. | 112 |
| Jack Nicklaus | Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game's two ultimate adversaries: the course and yourself. | 112 |
| Kevin Spacey | Clearly the success of the Netflix model, releasing the entire season of 'House of Cards' at once, proved one thing: The audience wants the control. They want the freedom. If they want to binge as they've been doing on 'House of Cards' and lots of other shows, we should let them binge. | 112 |
| Lauren Bacall | When everything happens to you when you're so young, you're very lucky, but by the same token, you're never going to have that same feeling again. The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same. | 112 |
| Lily Tomlin | The road to success is always under construction. | 112 |
| Queen Rania of Jordan | When you educate a girl, you kick-start a cycle of success. It makes economic sense. It makes social sense. It makes moral sense. But, it seems, it's not common sense yet. | 112 |
| R. Kelly | Well, I believe that the depth of your struggle can determine the height of your success. I was inspired to come out of everything I've been through and end up in a place where I never thought that I would be. | 112 |
| Robin S. Sharma | Success is not a function of the size of your title but the richness of your contribution. | 112 |
| Sammy Davis, Jr. | Real success is not on the stage, but off the stage as a human being, and how you get along with your fellow man. | 112 |
| Shigeru Miyamoto | I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out, all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products. | 112 |
| Sonia Sotomayor | If I write a book where all I've ever experienced is success, people won't take a positive lesson from it. In being candid, I have to own up to my own failures, both in my marriage and in my work environment. | 112 |
| Will Ferrell | I think with the success of, like, every summer there has been a couple R-rated comedies that have done so well; I think it is so nice to see that people are turning out to see these movies, and it doesn't seem to be as big a stigma with the studios anymore. | 112 |
| A. R. Rahman | Success comes to those who dedicate everything to their passion in life. To be successful, it is also very important to be humble and never let fame or money travel to your head. | 112 |
| Akshay Kumar | I never feel any pressure about a film. What is meant to happen will happen. I have seen failure as well as success several times. | 112 |
| Moby | Whenever I've had success, I never learn from it. Success usually breeds a degree of hubris. When you fail, that's when you learn. | 112 |
| Mark Twain | Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. | 113 |
| Michael Jordan | I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. | 113 |
| Vaclav Havel | Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good. | 113 |
| A. P. J. Abdul Kalam | Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success. | 113 |
| Ban Ki-moon | Some might complain that nuclear disarmament is little more than a dream. But that ignores the very tangible benefits disarmament would bring for all humankind. Its success would strengthen international peace and security. It would free up vast and much-needed resources for social and economic development. It would advance the rule of law. | 113 |
| Barbara Bush | Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people - your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way. | 113 |
| Bette Davis | I am doomed to an eternity of compulsive work. No set goal achieved satisfies. Success only breeds a new goal. The golden apple devoured has seeds. It is endless. | 113 |
| Hugh Jackman | To get down to the quick of it, respect motivates me - not success. | 113 |
| Leonardo DiCaprio | I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great, at first, not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up. | 113 |
| Mikhail Bakunin | Such a faith would be fatal to my reason, to my liberty, and even to the success of my undertakings; it would immediately transform me into a stupid slave, an instrument of the will and interests of others. | 113 |
| Simon Cowell | The secret of my success is that I make other people money. And, never ever, ever, ever be ashamed about trying to earn as much as possible for yourself, if the person you're working with is also making money. That's life! | 113 |
| Ayelet Waldman | Look, if you ask a child, 'Would you rather have a fulfilled mother or a stay-at-home Sylvia Plath,' they'll pick Sylvia Plath every time. But I think it's really important that children don't feel their parents' emotional lives depend on their success. | 113 |

| Albert Einstein | Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value. | 114 |

| Leonardo da Vinci | It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things. | 114 |

| Vince Lombardi | Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. | 114 |

| Bo Bennett | When it comes to success, there are no shortcuts. | 114 |
| Derek Jeter | We just want to win. That's the bottom line. I think a lot of times people may become content with one championship or a little bit of success, but we don't really reflect on what we've done in the past. We focus on the present. | 114 |
| Edward de Bono | To be successful you have to be lucky, or a little mad, or very talented, or find yourself in a rapid growth field. | 114 |

| Samuel Smiles | We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery. | 114 |
| Sheryl Sandberg | Women attribute their success to working hard, luck, and help from other people. Men will attribute that - whatever success they have, that same success - to their own core skills. | 114 |
| Simon Mainwaring | The keys to brand success are self-definition, transparency, authenticity and accountability. | 114 |
| Amy Chua | It may be the optimist in me, but I think America has a uniquely powerful and capacious glue internally. The American identity has always been ethnically and religiously neutral, so within one generation you have Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Chinese-Americans, Jamaican-Americans - they feel American. It's a huge success story. | 114 |
| Helen Keller | Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties. | 115 |

| Booker T. Washington | Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon. | 115 |
| W. Clement Stone | You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success - or are they holding you back? | 115 |

| T.I. | I'm happy to be on a winning team. My individual success, that lasts for a short period of time. The success of being a part of the South, of Atlanta, which is now the hot bed of music, that's what's gonna last the longest. The fact that I contributed to planting our flag and moving music to my city, that's what I'm most proud of. | 115 |
| Tom Peters | The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it. | 115 |
| Alexandre Dumas | Nothing succeeds like success. | 115 |
| Amy Chua | I see my upbringing as a great success story. By disciplining me, my parents inculcated self-discipline. And by restricting my choices as a child, they gave me so many choices in my life as an adult. Because of what they did then, I get to do the work I love now. | 115 |

| John Wayne | I was sure I'd set the world on fire, and it was hard for a young feller like me to realize the truth - that I hadn't set the world on fire, and I was totally unprepared to handle the consequences if 'The Big Trail' had been a success and launched me as a star. | 116 |

| Steven Pinker | There's a misconception that survival of the fittest means survival of the most aggressive. The adjective 'Darwinian' used to refer to ruthless competition; you used to read that in business journals. But that's not what Darwinian means to a biologist; it's whatever leads to reproductive success. | 116 |
| Sydney J. Harris | Almost no one is foolish enough to imagine that he automatically deserves great success in any field of activity; yet almost everyone believes that he automatically deserves success in marriage. | 116 |
| Walter Winchell | Nothing recedes like success. | 116 |

| G-Eazy | What's weird is the Hot Boys and the whole New Orleans Cash Money thing had a really big impact on the Bay when that was popping off. I don't all the way understand it.

| Amy Chua | Happiness is not always through success. Equally, the constant pursuit of success is sure unhappiness. But we have to find the balance. My own thoughts are that parenting is very personal. And we all feel enormous insecurity about parenting. What are they going to think of us 20 years down the line? | 117 |
| Elias Canetti | Success is the space one occupies in the newspaper. Success is one day's insolence. | 117 |

| Myles Munroe | You weren't born just to live a life and to die; you were born to accomplish something specifically. Matter of fact, success is making it to the end of your purpose; that is success... Success is not just existing. Success is making it to the end of why you were born. | 118 |

| Ellen DeGeneres | While I was doing stand-up, I thought I knew for sure that success meant getting everyone to like me. So I became whoever I thought people wanted me to be. I'd say yes when I wanted to say no, and I even wore a few dresses. | 119 |
| Denis Waitley | Success in life comes not from holding a good hand, but in playing a poor hand well. | 119 |

| Robert Louis Stevenson | That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much. | 119 |

| Gary Vaynerchuk | I always say that the real success of Wine Library wasn't due to the videos I posted, but to the hours I spent talking to people online afterward, making connections and building relationships. | 120 |

| Zig Ziglar | I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life. You can't truly be considered successful in your business life if your home life is in shambles. | 120 |
| Regina Brett | The secret to success, to parenting, to life, is to not count up the cost. Don't focus on all the steps it will take. Don't stare into the abyss at the giant leap it will take. That view will keep you from taking the next small step. | 120 |
| Robert Browning | A minute's success pays the failure of years. | 120 |

| W. Clement Stone | Everyone who achieves success in a great venture, solves each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves.

| Logan Pearsall Smith | How can they say my life is not a success? Have I not for more than sixty years got enough to eat and escaped being eaten? | 121 |
| Simon Mainwaring | Refuse to accept the belief that your professional relevance, career success or financial security turns on the next update on the latest technology. Sometimes it's good to put the paddle down and just let the canoe glide. | 121 |
| Vint Cerf | Allowing a handful of broadband carriers to determine what people see and do online would fundamentally undermine the features that have made the Internet such a success, and could permanently compromise the Internet as a platform for the free exchange of information, commerce, and ideas. | 121 |

| Mary Kay Ash | We fall forward to succeed. | 201 |
