SUCCESS QUOTES III
quotations about success
Success is not necessarily determined by material possessions or accomplishments. You can enjoy success simply by reaching the point where you are perfectly content with your life in every respect and you feel no dissatisfaction or pressing need for anything else. In this sense, you can be a success sitting by yourself in a quiet place contemplating the world.

Success is less about hours of input and more the quality of output.

"Take Time To Unplug And Check Out This Summer", Huffington Post, July 10, 2017
Success treads on the heels of every right effort; and though it is possible to overestimate success to the extent of almost deifying it, as is sometimes done, still in any worthy pursuit it is meritorious.
SAMUEL SMILES
Self-Help
Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal. The winner is he who gives himself to his work body and soul.

It is not the going out of port, but the coming in, that determines the success of a voyage.
HENRY WARD BEECHER
Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit
Our success at friendship, business, sports, love--indeed, at nearly every enterprise we attempt--is largely determined by our self-image. People who have a confidence in their personal worth seem to be magnets for success and happiness.
ALAN LOY MCGINNIS
Confidence: How to Succeed at Being Yourself
All great success is preceded by failure.
BRIAN TRACY
The 100 Absolutely Unbreakable Laws of Business Success
There are those who deny that success is pre-eminently desirable, or that it is by any means identical with happiness. No doubt there are many enjoyments outside of worldly success. After all, it is pleasant to lie in bed till eight o'clock in the morning, instead of turning out at five; it is pleasant to hug the chimney-corner, instead of breasting the pitiless storm; it is pleasant to pass one's evenings in the bosom of a family; pleasant, too, to taste the difference between winter and spring, fine sunsets and storms, town and country. The path of success, never "a primrose path of dalliance," is steeper and more thorny today than ever before. Never before in the world's history was competition in every calling and pursuit so fierce as now; never did success, in more than a moderate degree, demand for its attainment such a union of physical and intellectual qualities--of alertness, activity, prudence, persistence, boldness, and decision--as in this latter half of the nineteenth century. Carlyle truly says that "the race of life has become intense; the runners are treading upon each other's heels; woe be to him who stops to tie his shoe-strings!" This fact alone is sufficient to show the absurdity of the opinion sometimes advanced, that success is not, as a general thing, a test of merit. In spite of the occasional triumphs of mediocre men and charlatans, the rule still holds, that the men who make their way to the front, becoming rich or famous by force of their personal characters, must have something more in them than impudence, and even the Hudsons and Fisks could not have won their positions without some sterling qualities, however alloyed with their opposites.
WILLIAM MATTHEWS
"Success and Failure", Hints on Success in Life
Can success change the human mechanism so completely between one dawn and another? Can it make one feel taller, more alive, handsomer, uncommonly gifted and indomitably secure with the certainty that this is the way life will always be? It can and it does!
MOSS HART
Act One: An Autobiography
In times of success remember many have succeeded even better than thou: in times of failure, remember many have failed even worse than thou.

DANNII MINOGUE
"Success"
To be successful in life, there are many hurdles you have to overcome. For me, the biggest hurdle to success has always been failure.
