Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

Winston Churchill

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

Booker T. Washington

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.

Margaret Thatcher

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals. William Frederick ‘Bull’

The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it.

Thucydides

People who fail to achieve their goals usually get stopped by frustration. They allow frustration to keep them from taking the necessary actions that would support them in achieving their desire. You get through this roadblock by plowing through frustration, taking each setback as feedback you can learn from, and pushing ahead. I doubt you’ll find many successful people who have not experienced this. All successful people learn that success is buried on the other side of frustration.

Anthony (Tony) Robbins

Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity.

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.

William Shakespeare

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.

Sophocles

I’ve had enough success for two lifetimes, My success is talent put together with hard work and luck.

Kareem Abdul-Jabar

You are wholly complete and your success in life will be in direct proportion to your ability to accept this truth about you.
Dr. Robert Anthony

Better to master one mountain than a thousand foothills.

William A. Ward

How a person masters his fate is more important than what his fate is.

Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your dreams.

Og Mandino

Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.

Ernest A. Fitzgerald

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Thomas Alva Edison

Too often the shortcut, the line of least resistance, is responsible for evanescent and unsatisfactory success.

Louis Binstock

Success doesn’t mean the absence of failures; it means the attainment of ultimate objectives. It means winning the war, not every battle.

Edwin C. Bliss

The secret of success is to do common things uncommonly well.
John Davidson Rockefeller, Sr.

To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
