I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
You must have long range goals to keep you from being frustrated by short range failures.
Excuses are the nails used to build a house of failure.
I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.
Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem.
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
It is a mistake to suppose that people succeed through success; they often succeed through failures.
Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.
To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate."
