Woody Allen

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.

I took a speed reading course and read ‘War and Peace’ in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.

Django was the definitive genius on the guitar, and the depth of his gift was so spectacular.

If it turns out that there is a God, I don’t think that he’s evil. But the worst that you can say about him is that basically he’s an underachiever.

It’s a great thing when you can show that you’ve been successful and that you’ve made a lot of money and that you’ve employed a lot of people.

One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people-I categorize them as life’s losers-who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I’m concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn’t be fighting me, they’d be doing something constructive themselves.

You may not be interested in strategy, but strategy is interested in you.

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 think I was born with the drive for success because I have a certain gene.

I really believe that being in the moment is the key to happiness and success, and being constantly glued to your phone can have a big impact on your relationship.

Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.

Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.

The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.

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.

I was determined to succeed in what I loved to do. I wasn’t going to let my disability stand in my way.

Success is only meaningful and enjoyable if it feels like your own.

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

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then Success is sure.

We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean… and we were taught to value everyone’s contribution and treat everyone with respect.
