One thought a day

Success is more attitude then aptitude.

Each person has the right to take part in the management of public affairs in his country, provided he has prior experience, a will to succeed, a college degree, influential parents, good looks, a resume, two 3X4 snapshots, and a good tax record.

The amount of success is in inverse proportion to the effort in attaining success.

In Fame's temple there is always a niche to be found for rich dunces, importunate scoundrels or successful butchers of the human race.

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.

Man errs as long as he strives.

We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.

Hitch your wagon to a star.

Success is relevant to coping with obstacles... But no problem is ever solved by those, who, when they fail, look for someone to blame instead of something to do.

Ambition often puts men upon doing the meanest offices: so climbing is performed in the same posture with creeping.

If a man is happy in his work exerting himself to the full extent of his capabilities, and enjoying it I'd say he's a success.

Even on the most exalted throne in the world we areonly sitting on our own bottom.

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.

There is a time in the tides of men, Which, taken at its flood, leads on to success. On the other hand, don't count on it.

If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing.

Success has always been a great liar.

Build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door.

All ambitions are lawful except those which climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind.

If you wish to be a success in the world, promise everything, deliver nothing.

I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.

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

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.
