- Stanislavisky, Konstantin

Best Quotes about Success

Wooden, John

Robert Browning

Success consists of doing the common things of life uncommonly well.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Woody Allen

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. They meet their obligations and responsibilities fairly and squarely, and then some. They are good friends to their friends, and then some. They can be counted on in an emergency, 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.

For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?

Allen, James

If a man has talent and cannot use it, he has failed. If he has talent and uses only half of it, he has half failed. If he has a talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded, and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know.

Wolfe, Thomas

Dr. David M. Burns

11.

Success doesn't come to you you go to it.

13.

I've come to embrace the notion that I haven't done enough in my life. I've come to confirm that one's title, even a title like president of the United States, says very little about how well one's life has been led. No matter how much you've done or how successful you've been, there's always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve.

Barack Obama

14.

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

This is true enough, but success is the next best thing to happiness, and if you can't be happy as a success, it's very unlikely that you would find a deeper, truer happiness in failure.

Korda, Michael

16.

Success is not something you get out of what you do.

Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed.

Dickinson, Emily

18.

Success with money, family, relationships, health, and careers is the ability to reach your personal objectives in the shortest time, with the least effort and with the fewest mistakes. The goals you set for yourself and the strategies you choose become your blueprint or plan. Strategies are like recipes: choose the right ingredients, mix them in the correct proportions, and you will always produce the same predictable results: in this case financial success. The success strategies for managing money and building wealth are called Money Strategies. By learning to use money strategies as a part of your day-to-day life, financial frustration and failure will become a thing of the past.

Givens, Charles J.

Albert Einstein

23.

My definition of success is to live your life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain -- and because of your lifestyle, have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain.

Robbins, Anthony

24.

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

25.

Success is that old A B C; ability, breaks, and courage.

Luckman, Charles

Ones best success comes after their greatest disappointments.

Beecher, Henry Ward

Emily Dickinson

28.

I think that at some point in your life you realize you don't have to worry if you do everything you're supposed to do right. Or if not right, if you do it the best you can... what can worry do for you? You are already doing the best you can.

Namath, Joe

Success is the person who year after year reaches the highest limits in his field.

Anderson, Sparky

33.

The goose that lays the golden eggs likes to lay where there are eggs already.

Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

34.

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.

Ellen DeGeneres

35.

The leaders we revere and the businesses that last are generally not the result of a narrow pursuit of popularity or personal advancement, but of devotion to some bigger purpose. That's the hallmark of real success. The other trapping of success might be the by product of this larger mission, but it can't be the central thing.

Barack Obama

36.

Success doesn't suck.

Rucker, Darius

To try is all. It matters not if one succeeds or fails outwardly.

Thibodeau, Robert

Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.

Reggie Leach

Material possessions, winning scores, and great reputations are meaningless in the eyes of the Lord, because He knows what we really are and that is all that matters.

Wooden, John

40.

Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.

Hill, Napoleon

41.

Success can make you go one of two ways. It can make you a prima donna, or it can smooth the edges, take away the insecurities, let the nice things come out.

Walters, Barbara

You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.

Damon, Matt
