quotations about success
Confident expectation of success makes us a receiving instrument for all the success thoughts that are vibrating through the ether of the atmosphere, and our mind becomes a powerful magnet to draw success thought.
WALTER MATTHEWS
"Success", Human Life from Many Angles
While success is necessary to happiness, it must be remembered that the term is a relative one; in other words, that there are many degrees of success, among which the highest are neither attainable by all, nor essential to felicity.
WILLIAM MATHEWS
Hints on Success in Life
The certainty of succeeding makes the road easy.
EDWARD COUNSEL
Maxims
The secret of success is this: There is no secret of success.
ELBERT HUBBARD
The American Bible
Remember that your real success takes place inside your mind. It's not facts, nor others' acts, nor events, that matter. Nothing matters in the long run but the temper of your spirit. Keep thinking success; and the more you are rebuffed the harder you must think it.
FRANK CRANE
"Ten Success Hunches", Four Minute Essays
You're bound to succeed if you have ignorance and confidence.

Savvy Sayin's
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

It must be admitted that the pleasure of a long-sought, ardently desired success, dreamed of by night and toiled for by day, is, probably, as complete as anything this side of heaven.
WILLIAM MATHEWS
Hints on Success in Life
Is it possible to have an endless series of successes without falling on our faces? I suppose it is, but I think it would entail doing the same things over and over again without taking chances, without taking risks or exploring our limits, without finding out what we can and can't do.
ALAN ARKIN
An Improvised Life
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose.
BILL GATES

Society functions in a way much more interesting than the multiple-choice pattern we have been rewarded for succeeding at in school.

The Secret Knowledge
Just and noble minds rejoice in other men's success.

Human success is a quotation from overhead.
CHARLES H. PARKHURST
"The Patern in the Mount"
The successful man is the one whose images correspond most closely to reality, because then his actions will lead to the results which he imagines. A man's failures depend upon the fact that his images do not correspond to reality, whether he is dealing with marriage, politics, business, or the horse races.
ERIC BERNE
The Mind in Action
There are two unpardonable sins in this world -- success and failure.
GEORGE HORACE LORIMER
Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son

INFECTED MUSHROOM
"The Missed Symphony"
Success is terrifying. Like happiness, it is often appreciated in retrospect. It's only later that you place it in perspective. Years from now, I'll look back and say, "God, wasn't it wonderful?"
