About Success Quotes

“Well done is better than well said.”

“Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.”

“Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.”

“Talking about success in society, no one can complain, because today everyone can choose what he or she wants. They don't just have to choose between being proletarian or middle-class. Those kinds of things do not exist anymore. Today working class boys can play football and become multimillionaires. On football! There are no longer classes, who say that we are poor, we are suppressed by you etc.”

“Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success isn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never...yes, never...sell yourself short.”

“Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.”

“The starting point of all achievement is desire.”

“If at first you don't succeed, try management.”

“What is the influence of Sun Tzu in the world today? Perhaps there are others who are better qualified than I to speculate about that question. Sun Tzu's ideas, as expressed in his famous treatise, have undoubtedly influenced the nature of many revolutionary movements that are arrayed against more powerful forces, and in some cases - as in Vietnam - have played a useful role in bringing about success. But such ideas are always in conflict with other deepseated emotional factors, which propel dissident movements into the rampant use of terrorism and other forms of anarchistic struggle.”

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.”

“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.”

“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.”

“It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.”

“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”

“Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.”

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

“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.”

“Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment.”

“A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.”

“Do you see the consequences of the way we have chosen to think about success? Because we so profoundly personalize success, we miss opportunities to lift others onto the top rung...We are too much in awe of those who succeed and far too dismissive of those who fail. And most of all, we become much too passive. We overlook just how large a role we all play—and by “we” I mean society—in determining who makes it and who doesn’t.”

“Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.”
