Vidal Sassoon

The uncommon man is merely the common man thinking and dreaming of success in larger terms and in more fruitful areas.

To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you.

Losing is tough.

Action is the foundational key to all success.

The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed.

Success is not all about money. It’s about having the resources and the ability to live the life that you have personally dreamed of.

If past history was all that is needed to play the game of money, the richest people would be librarians.

The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.

Success tends to go not to the person who is error-free, because he also tends to be risk-averse. Rather it goes to the person who recognizes that life is pretty much a percentage business. It isn’t making mistakes that’s critical; it’s correcting them and getting on with the principal task.

People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly, when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

In the end, you’re measured not by how much you undertake but by what you finally accomplish.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

There’s always something about your success that displeases even your best friends.

You always pass failure on the way to success.

I thought I’d be a success even back in the mailroom at William Morris. It was just inconceivable to me I couldn’t win it all.
