The worst part of having success is to try finding someone who is happy for you.
Only the mediocre are always at their best.
All successful newspapers are ceaselessly querulous and bellicose. They never defend anyone or anything if they can help it; if the job is forced upon them, they tackle it by denouncing someone or something else.
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.
All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then Success is sure.
We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.
Ambition is not a vice of little people.
Nature gave man two ends one to sit on and one to think with. Ever since then man's success or failure has been dependent on the one he used most.
Many people have the ambition to succeed in their work; they may even have special aptitude for their job. And yet they do not move ahead. Why? Perhaps they think that since they can master the job, there is no need to master themselves.
A noble man compares and estimates himself by an idea which is higher than himself; and a mean man, by one lower than himself. The one produces aspiration; the other ambition, which is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.
Ambition is not a vice of little people.
Ambition is the last refuge of failure.
It is the constant fault and inseparable evil quality of ambition, that it never looks behind it.
What really matters is the name you succeed in imposing on the facts not the facts themselves.
There is much to be said for failure. It is more interesting than success.
When a man blames others for his failures, it's a good idea to credit others with his successes.
If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.
Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.
The successful person is the individual who forms the habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do.
Ambition is not a vice of little people.
The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.
Success provides more opportunities to say things than the number of things a pundit has worth saying.
Who begins too much accomplishes little.
If the probability of success is not almost one, then it is damn near zero.
The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.
