Best Quotes about Success

Success has always been a great liar.

Nietzsche, Friedrich

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.

Rockefeller, John D.

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.
