Even success needs its consolations.
GEORGE ELIOT, letter to J. W. Cross, Jun. 3, 1876
All great success is preceded by failure.
BRIAN TRACY, The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success
The road to success is not to be run upon by seven-leagued boots. Step by step, little by little, bit by bit--that is the way to wealth, that is the way to wisdom, that is the way to glory. Pounds are the sons, not of pounds, but of pence.
CHARLES BUXTON, Notes of Thought
The man who succeeds must always in mind or imagination live, move, think, and act as if he had gained that success, or he never will gain it.
PRENTICE MULFORD, quoted in Success: A Book of Ideals, Helps, and Examples
Poverty, many can endure with dignity. Success, how few can carry off, even with decency and without baring their innermost infirmities before the public gaze!
ROBERT BONTINE CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM, Success and Other Sketches
Success is full of promise till men get it, and then it seems like a nest from which the bird has flown.
HENRY WARD BEECHER, Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
Success is somebody else's failure.
URSULA K. LE GUIN, Dancing at the Edge of the World
A person acting from a motivation of contribution and service rises to such a level of moral authority, that worldly success is a natural result.
MARIANNE WILLIAMSON, A Return to Love
I'm convinced that business success in the future starts with the question, What should I do with my life? Yes, that's right.... People don't succeed by migrating to a "hot" industry (one word: dotcom) or by adopting a particular career-guiding mantra (remember "horizontal careers"?). They thrive by focusing on the question of who they really are--and connecting that to work that they truly love (and, in so doing, unleashing a productive and creative power that they never imagined).
PO BRONSON, What Should I Do With My Life?
Success is not necessarily determined by material possessions or accomplishments. You can enjoy success simply by reaching the point where you are perfectly content with your life in every respect and you feel no dissatisfaction or pressing need for anything else. In this sense, you can be a success sitting by yourself in a quiet place contemplating the world.
BRIAN TRACY, The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success
Great success is a great temptation.
THEODORE PARKER, "A Sermon of the Moral Dangers incident to Prosperity"
Success is the child of Audacity.
BENJAMIN DISRAELI, The Rise of Iskander
Success isn't outscoring someone, it's the peace of mind that comes from self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best. Success is a journey, not a destination--half the fun is getting there.
GITA BELLIN, A Sharing of Completion and Celebration
You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.
MICHAEL PHELPS, Woman's Day, Apr. 1, 2009
If a man has directed his course to great ends there is compensation even in ruin.
ARTHUR LYNCH, Moods of Life
Success requires enough optimism to provide hope and enough pessimism to prevent complacency.
DAVID G. MYERS, Exploring Psychology
