success

The secret of success is constancy to purpose.

The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes.

Success is a journey, not a destination

To me, success is one's ability to keep the faith, develop his God-given talents, and be able to honestly say at the close of life, "the world is a better place because I have lived."

If you are going to be a successful duck hunter, you must go where the ducks are.

One big reason why men do not develop greater abilities, greater sales strength, greater resourcefulness is because they use neither their abilities nor their opportunities. We don't need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity. What we need is to use what we have. Men fail and their families suffer deprivations when all the time these men have in their possession the same assets other men are utilizing to accumulate a fortune. . . . Life doesn't cheat. It doesn't pay in counterfeit coin. It doesn't lock up shop and go home when pay-day comes. It pays every man exactly what he has earned. The age-old law that a man gets what he earns hasn't been suspended. When we take that truth home and believe it, we've turned a big corner on the high road that runs straight through to success.

The only summit meeting that can succeed is the one that does not take place.

I have always observed that to succeed in the world one should seem a fool, but be wise.

Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people - your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way.

I have known not a few men who, after reaching the summits of business success, found themselves miserable on attaining retirement age.
