What exactly is success? For me it is to be found not in applause, but in the satisfaction of feeling that one is realizing one's ideal.
To burn always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is success in life.
There is only one success... to be able to spend your own life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it.
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
Success isn't everything but it makes a man stand straight.
Success is full of promise till men get it; and then it is a last year's nest from which the bird has flown.
Success has always been easy to measure. It is the distance between one's origins and one's final achievement that matters.
A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.
The more you talk about negative things in your life, the more you call them in. Speak victory not defeat.
Don't believe that winning is really everything. It's more important to stand for something. If you don't stand for something, what do you win?
