Best Quotes about Success

To give your best is to receive the best.

Holliwell, Raymond

We can help others in the world more by making the most of yourself than in any other way.

Nightingale, Earl

The secret of success is to realize that the crisis on our planet is much larger than just deciding what to do with your own life, and if the system under which we live the structure of western civilization begins to collapse because of our selfishness and greed, then it will make no difference whether you have $1 million dollars when the crash comes or just $1.00. The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.

Williamson, Marianne

Success, in my view, is the willingness to strive for something you really want.

The failure to be perfect does not mean you're not a success.

Tarkenton, Fran

When I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought, " When I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars. I want to have groupies." But my idea of success is different today. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give into peer pressure, to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way.
