Motivational Quotes

Success

Success, in my view, is the willingness to strive for something you really want. The person not reaching the top is no less a success than the one who achieved it, if they both sweated blood, sweat and tears and overcame obstacles and fears. The failure to be perfect does not mean you're not a success.

- Tarkenton, Fran

Best Quotes about Success

The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.
