Best Quotes about Success

You don't have to stay up nights to succeed; you have to stay awake days.

Success is a matter of viewpoint. The pessimist sees the bottle as half empty. The optimist sees it as half full.

Karbo, Joe

Success isn't necessarily permanent -- but neither is failure.

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

Formula for Success... and then some. The top people do what's expected of them, and then some. They are thoughtful and considerate of others, and then some.

And so it is when we do what is assigned to us in our lives and in the church, and then some; then the Lord pays in full, and then some.
