Best Quotes about Success

1.

Sometimes in life you don't always feel like a winner, but that doesn't mean you're not a winner.

Lady Gaga

2.

That's what building a body of work is all about. It's about the daily labor, the many individual acts, the choices large and small that add up over time, over a lifetime to a lasting legacy. It's about not being satisfied with the latest achievement, the latest gold star, because the one thing I know about a body of work is that it's never finished. It's cumulative. It deepens and expands with each day you give your best. You may have setbacks and you may have failures, but you're not done. You haven't even started.

Barack Obama

A person is a success if they get up in the morning and gets to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.

Dylan, Bob

31.

Success is not something I've wrapped my brain around. If people go to those movies, then yes, that's true, big-time success. If not, it's much ado about nothing. [On the prospects for his 1997 movies The Rainmaker and Good Will Hunting]

Damon, Matt
