quotations about success

ROXETTE
"Dressed for Success"
The successful man is one who had the chance and took it.
ROBER BABSON
attributed, Distilled Wisdom
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 seems to be that which forms the distinction between confidence and conceit.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON
Lacon
Consider what God can do, and you will never despair of success.
THOMAS WILSON
Maxims of Piety and of Christianity
Complete success alienates a man from his fellows, but suffering makes kinsmen of us all.
ELBERT HUBBARD
The American Bible
Your successes and happiness are forgiven you only if you generously consent to share them.
ALBERT CAMUS
The Fall
Success never needs an excuse.
EDWARD BULWER LYTTON
speech, May 15, 1854
Success is ever a bad tree when evil is the root.
EDWARD COUNSEL
Maxims
The logic of worldly success rests on a fallacy: the strange error that our perfection depends on the thoughts and opinions and applause of other men! A weird life it is, indeed, to be living always in somebody else's imagination, as if that were the only place in which one could at last become real!
THOMAS MERTON
The Seven Storey Mountain
Success is a personal standard -- reaching for the highest that is in us -- becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success. Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have.
ZIG ZIGLAR
attributed, The Subconscious Diet
Success is buried on the other side of frustration.
ANTHONY ROBBINS
Unlimited Power: The New Science of Personal Achievement
Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.
PABLO PICASSO
Vogue, November 1, 1956
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.
CHARLES BUXTON
Notes of Thought
Success makes life easier. It doesn't make living easier.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
Q, August, 1992
The greatest happiness of life was to stand at the difficult border between success and failure.
EIJI YOSHIKAWA
Taiko
We used to go out walkin' hand in hand you told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long till all your dreams came true success put me in second place with you
You have no time to love me anymore since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone success has made a failure of our home
LORETTA LYNN
"Success"
Integrity is so perishable in the summer months of success.
VANESSA REDGRAVE
attributed, Good-bye Baby and Amen
You might discover greater success is just a matter of better channeling and projecting positivity about work.

Success soon palls. The joyous time is, when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows.
