Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value.

Opportunities don't happen. You create them.

Success? I don't know what that word means. I'm happy. But success, that goes back to what in somebody's eyes success means. For me, success is inner peace. That's a good day for me.

Whenever you see a successful person, you only see the public glories, never the private sacrifices to reach them.

Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

If you are willing to do more than you are paid to do, eventually you will be paid to do more than you do.

All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.

Stop chasing the money and start chasing the passion.

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.

If you are not willing to risk the usual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.

Entrepreneurs average 3.8 failures before final success. What sets the successful ones apart is their amazing persistence.

Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

If you set your goals ridiculously high and it's a failure, you will fail above everyone else's success.

Success for me isn't a destination it's a journey. Everybody's working to get to the top but where is the top? It's all about working harder and getting better and moving up and up.

Don't chase success; chase excellence and success will come looking for you.

I don't fail, I succeed in finding what does not work.

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.

Your altitude is determined by your attitude.

If you're not present during my struggles, don't expect to be present during my success.

To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.

To be outstanding get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Perfection doesn't guarantee success. You don't have to be perfect to succeed.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.

The secret of success: Stop wishing. Start doing.

Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.

Success isn't always about greatness. It's about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success. Greatness will come.

If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

For me, success is a state of mind. I feel like success isn't about conquering something, it's being happy with who you are.

If you're lucky enough to do well, it's your responsibility to send the elevator back down.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Don't worry about being successful, but work toward being significant and the success will naturally follow.

Success depends upon previous preparation, and without such preparation there is sure to be failure.

Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.

If you're going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

You have to be odd to be number one.

When you feel like quitting, think about why you started.

Happiness is a choice.

The appearance of things change according to the emotions and thus we see magic and beauty in them, while the magic and beauty really are in ourselves.

It's not about how much you do, but how much love you put into what you do that counts.

Happiness always sneaks in a door you did not think was open.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

In the end, it isn't about changing the world, but rather, how many worlds you have changed.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.

We cannot change the cards we are dealt, just how we play the hand.

Change is inevitable. Progress is optional.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

All of our dreams can come true if we just have the courage to pursue them.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people

First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win.

When you can't change the direction of the wind, just adjust your sails.

If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door

Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security

How you do one thing, is how you do everything. Be aware.
