Here are my absolute favorite success quotes.
ALBERT EINSTEIN:
“The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. The ordinary objects of human endeavour – property, outward success, and luxury have always seemed to me contemptible.”
HENRY DAVID THOREAU:
“I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
HENRY FORD:
“If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can’t, you’re right.”
PABLO PICASSO:
“My mother said to me, “If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general; if you become a monk, you’ll end up as the Pope.” Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.”
RALPH WALDO EMERSON:
“Self-trust is the first secret of success.”
ROBERT F. KENNEDY:
“Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.”
THOMAS ALVA EDISON:
“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
THOMAS WOLFE:
“You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments, or publicity.”
WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON:
“The success of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers.”
WILLIAM MENNINGER:
“Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom, charity.”
WINSTON CHURCHILL:
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”
ROBERT SCHULLER:
“What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?”
NORMAN VINCENT PEALE:
“Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.”
JOHN MAXWELL:
“Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires to reach their potential.”
GEORGE SHEEHAN:
“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be”
SWAMI VIVEKANANDA:
“Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced.”
MARK VICTOR HANSEN:
“Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”
ORISON SWETT MARDEN:
“Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.”
WILFRED PETERSON:
“Success is focusing the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve.”
TONY DORSETT:
“To succeed you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you”
NAPOLEON HILL:
“Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success”
LI KA SHING:
“Perhaps the key to success is to identify your moral and intellectual coordinates. A life without principles is a life without direction.”
DEEPAK CHOPRA:
“The possibility of stepping into a higher plane is quite real for everyone. It requires no force or effort or sacrifice. It involves little more than changing our ideas about what is normal.”
ALBERT SCHWEITZER:
“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”
BARACK OBAMA:
“Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it’s not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.”
