To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children…to leave the world a better place…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Each time we face a fear and step into adversity our self-esteem grows, and each time we get a success behind us, we become more confident of overcoming the next hurdle. In the end, with a series of successes under our belts, we will understand that there is nothing that we cannot do.”
- Geoff Thompson

“Many people dream of and hope for success. To me, success can be achieved only through repeated failure and introspection. In fact, success represents 1% of your work, which results from the 99% that is called failure.”
- Soichiro Honda
Quote
“There are no secrets to success: Don’t waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence.”
- General Colin Powell

“Claim the high ground. In the battle for success, if you have trouble hitting your mark, try elevating your sights. You will have very little success with mediocre ambitions. Weak dreams inspire weak efforts.”
