Quotations
I've had marvellous and incredible luck, and devoted parents, sisters, friends, and teachers. What more can one ask? These things contribute enormously. Probably the major part of one's success is due to these factors.
Yehudi Menuhin|Yehudi Menuhin, as stated in his interview with Martyn Lewis (journalist)|Martyn Lewis in his book, Reflections on Success, 1997.
Nothing comes easy. Nothing is given to you. Whatever you do, you've got to work for it and earn it. Whatever reward you get you've go to know that you've had your input into that success. There's no substitute for hard work. And if you want to be well known or well liked, you have to put yourself out for people.
Jack Charlton|Jack Charlton, British football manager. From his interview with Martyn Lewis, in his book, Reflections on Success, pub. 1997.
For me success was always going to be a Lamborghini. But now I’ve got it, it just sits on my drive.
Curtis Jackson|Curtis Jackson [50 Cent], American Rapper. From his interview with Louis Gannon for Live magazine, The Mail on Sunday (UK) newspaper, 25th October 2009
‘Tis a lesson you should heed, Try, try again. If at first you don't succeed, Try, try again.
William Edward Hickson 1803-1870, Try and Try Again
To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive, and the true success is to labour.
Robert Louis Stevenson, Virginibus Puerisque, ‘El Dorado’
Success is full of promise till men get it; and then it is last year's nest from which the bird has flown.
Henry Ward Beecher, reported in Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers (1895), p. 567.
