Success Quotes
There are not many famous names on this page. Shakespeare leads, then Steve Maraboli and Emerson, and most of the authors appear only once. The quotes with real citations are more interesting than the motivational ones: James Richardson’s “Success is whatever humiliation everyone has agreed to compete for” (Vectors, 2001), or Jean Ingelow in 1886 observing that if one cannot have success, the next most agreeable thing is failure.
“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts” is credited to Churchill almost everywhere it appears. No source has been found. One of the places it shows up is a 2003 book, with none given. It is on the Courage page too, with the same flag.
To do for the world more than the world does for you, that is Success.
The African lions rush to attack bulls; they do not attack butterflies.
As if Misfortune made the throne her seat,
And none could be unhappy but the great.
Not he is great who can alter matter, but he who can alter my state of mind.
We have not the love of greatness, but the love of the love of greatness.
Such a nature,
Tickled with good success, disdains the shadow
Which he treads on at noon.
