Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
The starting point of all achievement is desire.
Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that 'achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.
Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind.
Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.
I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.
Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.
I have learned that success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has had to overcome while trying to succeed.
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
If you think you can't, you're right.
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
