quotations about success
It must be admitted that the pleasure of a long-sought, ardently desired success, dreamed of by night and toiled for by day, is, probably, as complete as anything this side of heaven.

Hints on Success in Life
delicate moment
saw you again
leap year summer
presence drew in
flies of success
squandered about
ritual fashion
leaving no doubt
you were a hit
plain to see
busy boulevard
hidden street
I prayed lightly
weaved my path
raise no question
how I survived
the aftermath
but I see no reason to covet
cause I'm just thinking
it all seems so amusing
failure and success

Beware the serpent, slyly hid, which stings
The soul with poison of Prosperity.

Clouds big with rain hang low,
So good men humbly bear success,
Nor overweening grow.

Intuitions and Summaries of Thought

A man's failures depend upon the fact that his images do not correspond to reality, whether he is dealing with marriage, politics, business, or the horse races.
ERIC BERNE
The Mind in Action
Success too often sanctions the worst and the wildest schemes of human ambition.

Lacon
Every person falls down at some point. Successful people choose to get back up.

All we want is some success
But the chance is never around
It's all part of the process
