Success quotes



Success quotes

How do you measure success? To laugh often, and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a redeemed social condition, or a job well done; to know even one other life has breathed because you lived this is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
1803 — 1882


If you work at the parts the whole will be a success.

Don’t think about failure. Think about the chances you miss when you dont even try.

Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently.
Henry Ford
1863 — 1947

If at first you don’t succeed, try doing it the way you were told.

I have not failed. I’ve just found ten thousand ways that won’t work.
Thomas Edison
1847 — 1931

He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.
Napoleon Bonaparte
1769 — 1821

Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much or suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.

I’d rather be a failure at something I enjoy than a success at something I hate.
George Burns
1896 — 1996

True genius lies not in doing extraordinary things, but in doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
Albert Einstein
1879 — 1955

It’s not how many times you fall down, it’s how many times you get back up.

About the only problem with success is that it does not teach you how to deal with failure.
Tommy Lasorda
1927 —     

You can’t win them all.
Connie Mack
1862 — 1956

Eighty percent of success is showing up.
Woody Allen
1935 —     

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Thomas Edison
1847 — 1931

The only sure way to avoid making mistakes is to have no new ideas.
Albert Einstein
1879 — 1955
