Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself
as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to
fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture...Do not build
up obstacles in your imagination.
--Norman Vincent Peale (1898 - 1993)
Always
bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important
than any one thing.
--Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
If
A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x;
y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
--Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), Observer, Jan. 15, 1950
Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of
value.
--Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
A great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never
gets used up.
--Albert Schweitzer (1875 - 1965)
A discovery is said to be an accident meeting a prepared mind.
--Albert von Szent-Gyorgyi (1893 - 1986)
To follow, without halt, one aim: There's the secret of success.
--Anna Pavlova (1885 - 1931)
If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the
world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at
all.
--Anna Quindlen
ON
SUCCEEDING
Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and be a
hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave to wealth;
better to have taken some risks and lost than to have done nothing
and succeeded at it; better to have lost some battles than to have
retreated from the war; better to have failed when serving God than
to have succeeded when serving the devil. What a tragedy to climb
the ladder of success, only to discover that the ladder was leaning
against the wrong wall!
--Erwin W. Lutzer
Doing God’s will may not always lead to increased popularity,
sales, and profits. It didn’t in Bible days.
--Lloyd Cory
God has not called me to be successful; he has called me to be faithful.
--Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Have a sincere desire to serve God and mankind, and stop doubting,
stop thinking negatively. . . . Simply start living by faith, pray
earnestly and humbly, and get into the habit of looking expectantly
for the best. . . . When you live on a faith basis, your desire will
be only for that which you can ask in God’s name. By success,
of course, I do not mean that you may become rich, famous, or powerful.
--Norman Vincent Peale
