One thought a day

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.

Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about things.

Success is overrated. Incompetence is what we should revere it marks us off from animals.

Success, as I see it, is a result, not a goal.

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then Success is sure.

The noblest spirit is most strongly attracted by thelove of glory.

The success of any venture will be helped by prayer, even in the wrong denomination.

If at first you don't succeed, you must be doing something wrong.

Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value

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.
