The successful men of action are not sufficiently self-observant to know exactly on what their success depends.

Amiel, Henri Frederic

21.
We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act.
Vivekananda, Swami

22.
Every action we take, everything we do, is either a victory or defeat in the struggle to become what we want to be.

Tarentum, Leonidas of

Wilde, Oscar

Start with what is right rather than what is acceptable.
Drucker, Peter F.

35.
Effective action is always unjust.
Anouilh, Jean

36.
You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.
Aikman, Leo

37.
No rules for success will work if you don't.

38.
You can't plow a field by turning it over in your mind.

39.
Every action is either strong or weak, and when every action is strong we are successful.
Wattles, Wallace D.

40.
Build today, then strong and sure, With a firm and ample base; And ascending and secure. Shall tomorrow find its place.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

41.

Watson, Thomas J.

46.
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium; and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, not how it compares with other expression. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is on a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.
Graham, Martha

47.
Men do not value a good deed unless it brings a reward.
Ovid

48.
The only way you can bring in the harvest in the fall is to plant in the spring, and to water, weed, fertilize in the summer

49.
Where there is a will, there is a way. If there is a chance in a million that you can do something, anything, to keep what you want from ending, do it. Pry the door open or, if need be, wedge your foot in that door and keep it open.
Pine, Arthur

50.
Your difficulty and my difficulty and the difficulty of every individual who ever desired to achieve something worthwhile, comes in the movement.
Zarlenga, Peter Nivio
