Keys to success: Research your ideas, plan for success, expect success, and just do it.

I don’t think people get to be successful without ambition.

When you’re successful, things have a momentum and you can’t tell if you have created the momentum or it’s creating you.

I’ve always won, and I’m going to continue to win. And that’s the way it is.

The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who do nothing and succeed.

You’ve achieved success in your field when you don’t know whether what you’re doing is work or play.

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

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.

The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

To be successful you must accept all challenges that come your way. You can’t just accept the ones you like.

I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one’s business on earth, like the male spider, who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like a state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.

You may only succeed if you desire succeeding; you may only fail if you do not mind failing.

There are two types of people who will tell you that you cannot make a difference in this world: those who are afraid to try and those who are afraid you will succeed.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.
