quotations about success
We used to go out walkin' hand in hand you told me all the big things you had planned
It wasn't long till all your dreams came true success put me in second place with you
You have no time to love me anymore since fame and fortune knocked upon our door
Now I spend all my evenings all alone success has made a failure of our home
LORETTA LYNN

I'm gonna get dressed for success
Shaping me up for the big time, baby.
Get dressed for success
Shaping it up for your love yea yea yea.
ROXETTE
"Dressed for Success"
Success seems to be that which forms the distinction between confidence and conceit.
CHARLES CALEB COLTON
Lacon
Complete success alienates a man from his fellows, but suffering makes kinsmen of us all.
ELBERT HUBBARD
The American Bible
Consider what God can do, and you will never despair of success.
THOMAS WILSON
Maxims of Piety and of Christianity
There are two principles for creative success -- one general and one definitive. The general principle is that everyone has the ability to be creative and make a big difference in this world. The definitive principle is that almost everyone has volunteered to be exempt from the general principle.

The Lazy Person's Guide to Success: How to Get What You Want Without Killing Yourself for It
Unless you have courage, a courage that keeps you going, always going, no matter what happens, there is no certainty of success. It is really an endurance race.
HENRY FORD
Theosophist Magazine, February 1930
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.
WALTER BAGEHOT
Shakespeare the Man: An Essay
laugh the day
meet again
end up on park bench
exactly where
I'm at now
unnoticed
wonder how
bargained your way
packs that bleed you
no thoughts
what they've made you
success has sewn
a hand to your back
paid what price
for the path
we traveled
SACCHARINE TRUST
"Success and Failure"
Success is a journey not a destination. The doing is usually more important than the outcome. Not everyone can be Number 1.
ARTHUR ASHE
attributed, Get Motivated!: Daily Psych-Ups
When your ship comes in, if you are like most people, instead of being thankful, you will find fault with the captain for the delay.
EDGAR WATSON HOWE
Country Town Sayings
Keep away from people who are always despondent; who always have a mental picture of some bad luck that is on the way. You can derive no benefit from association with such people; they spread the contagion of poverty thought, and in their company you will surely assimilate some of their ruinous-thought element. To say that "I can" and "I will" places you in alignment with thought currents that inevitably lead to "SUCCESS."
WALTER MATTHEWS
"Success", Human Life from Many Angles
Success is ever a bad tree when evil is the root.
EDWARD COUNSEL
Maxims
Beware the serpent, slyly hid, which stings
The soul with poison of Prosperity.
EDWARD ROBESON TAYLOR
"Adversity"
Success, which touches nothing that it does not vulgarize, should be its own reward.
ROBERT BONTINE CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM
Success and Other Sketches
The greatest happiness of life was to stand at the difficult border between success and failure.
EIJI YOSHIKAWA
Taiko
Success is buried on the other side of frustration.
ANTHONY ROBBINS
Unlimited Power: The New Science of Personal Achievement
We all love looking down
All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the process
MORCHEEBA
"Part of the Process"
There is only one success: to be able to spend your life in your own way, and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it.
CHRISTOPHER MORLEY
Where the Blue Begins
Success is dangerous. One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others. It leads to sterility.
