"All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure."
Mark Twain"Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture...Do not build up obstacles in your imagination."
Norman Vincent Peale"Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm."
Winston Churchill"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."
Thomas A Edison"Most success springs from an obstacle or failure. I became a cartoonist largely because I failed in my goal of becoming a successful executive."
Scott Adams"People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to."
George Allen"The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion... It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider - and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree."
Alexander Graham Bell"Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other."
Erma Louise Bombeck"My success just evolved from working hard at the business at hand each day."
Johnny Carson"If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress."
Calvin Coolidge
