To be prepared is half the victory.
It is not the going out of port, but the coming in, that determines the success of a voyage.
When I was 4 years old, my brother and sister died of hunger, so I achieved my success through confidence, self-motivation and my hard work.
The danger is in pleasing an immediate public: the immediate public that comes around you and takes you in and accepts you and gives you success and everything. Instead of that, you should wait for fifty years or a hundred years for your true public. That is the only public that interests me.
I owe my success to all my teammates. It is the result of the team work.
The only thing that ever sat its way to success was a hen.
It takes 20 years to make an overnight success.
The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind.
Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.
Repeating, trying to repeat success - it never gets easier.
Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good.
I've learned that success comes in a very prickly package. Whether you choose to accept it or not is up to you.
You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don't have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success - none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.
If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.
Obedience brings success; exact obedience brings miracles.
Fame always brings loneliness. Success is as ice cold and lonely as the North Pole.
I think that success is having fun.
Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.
Obedience is the mother of success and is wedded to safety.
Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
Happy people are ignoramuses and glory is nothing else but success, and to achieve it one only has to be cunning.
The best revenge in the world is success.
Everybody has their own rules, and so do I. I have always lived on my own terms. As far as mistakes are concerned, I've made them and acknowledged them as mistakes, not regrets. I consider my life a success. There's nothing that I would re-do. I've always done what I felt was right.
There is simply no substitute for hard work when it comes to achieving success.
People seldom see the halting and painful steps by which the most insignificant success is achieved.
Whatever obstacle comes your way, you gotta be prepared to jump over it! And I think that's what separates the legends from the regular artists. It's all in how you manage that success, and how you deal with the controversy when it actually comes.
Follow your passion. Nothing - not wealth, success, accolades or fame - is worth spending a lifetime doing things you don't enjoy.
We wish we had known that success takes time, that it's gonna require an unimaginable amount of hard work, that you're going to have to pretend you know what you're doing even when don't, and that as cheesy and cliche as it may sound, following your heart is actually... the key to everything.
Why be a man when you can be a success?
The grass is always greener on the other side - until you get there and see it's AstroTurf. Symbols are never reality. Someone might have amassed material success and fame, but that doesn't mean they're happy. So, don't go judging a person's life by the cover.
