"Adversity"
Consider what God can do, and you will never despair of success.
THOMAS WILSON
Maxims of Piety and of Christianity
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the process
MORCHEEBA
"Part of the Process"
Remember, success is buried on the other side of rejection. There are no real successes without rejection. The more rejection you get, the better you are, the more you've learned, the closer you are to your outcome.
ANTHONY ROBBINS
Unlimited Power: The New Science of Personal Achievement
The successful man is one who had the chance and took it.
ROBER BABSON
attributed, Distilled Wisdom
Complete success alienates a man from his fellows, but suffering makes kinsmen of us all.
ELBERT HUBBARD
The American Bible
Success seems to be that which forms the distinction between confidence and conceit.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON
Lacon
When you're in something that's successful, the subconscious fantasies you have about what your life could be start bursting through the surface -- I'll tell that son of a bitch when I get successful enough, or I'll buy this particular thing, or now they'll love me. It creates an enormous amount of expectant hopes and dreams, and it's terrible. Terrible.

The funny thing about having all this so-called success is that behind it is a certain horrible emptiness.
SAM SHEPARD
The Observer, March 20, 2010
The success of today may be the disaster of tomorrow and of other days to be. The failure of today may be an everlasting success.
JOHN DANIEL BARRY
"The Dead", Reactions and Other Essays
Failure means that you would not, or could not, pay for success. Success is a matter of sale. It can (most often) be bought by a large outlay--of hard forethought--of pains--of steadiness--of the golden wisdom coined from experience. But the figure is too high for most of us. We are too poor, or too slothful, to bring the price.

JACK CANFIELD
The Success Principles
Success is never assured, but having some challenges is almost always assured. Preparation to deal with those situations can reduce the hurdles and increase the prospects for success.
MARK KAPLAN
"Dealing with the certainty of change", New Hampshire Union Leader, July 9, 2017
Keep away from people who are always despondent; who always have a mental picture of some bad luck that is on the way. You can derive no benefit from association with such people; they spread the contagion of poverty thought, and in their company you will surely assimilate some of their ruinous-thought element. To say that "I can" and "I will" places you in alignment with thought currents that inevitably lead to "SUCCESS."
WALTER MATTHEWS
"Success", Human Life from Many Angles
Success is ever a bad tree when evil is the root.
EDWARD COUNSEL
Maxims
Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Q, August, 1992
Success makes men rigid and they tend to exalt stability over all the other virtues; tired of the effort of willing they become fanatics about conservatism.
