If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.

Calvin Coolidge

As a general rule the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.

Our best successes often come after our greatest disappointments.

Henry Ward Beecher

The principle of all successful effort is to try to do not what is absolutely the best, but what is easily within our power, and suited for our temperament and condition.

John Ruskin

To become an able and successful man in any profession, three things are necessary, nature, study and practice.

Henry Ward Beecher

The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved.

Samuel Smiles

A minute's success pays the failure of years.

Robert Browning

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you’ve got to start young.

The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already.

Henry Ford

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.

Benjamin Franklin

Orison Swett Marden

Life seems but a quick succession of busy nothings.

Jane Austen

Embrace failure as a teacher, not a defeat. Learn from your mistakes and use them as stepping stones to success.

The most glorious moments in your life are not the so-called days of success, but rather those days when out of dejection and despair you feel rise in you a challenge to life, and the promise of future accomplishments.

Gustave Flaubert

Success is not measured by how far you go, but by the obstacles you overcome along the way.

However things may seem, no evil thing is success and no good thing is failure.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Embrace failure as a stepping stone to success. Learn from your mistakes, adjust your course, and keep moving forward.

Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed.

Emily Dickinson

Every young man would do well to remember that all successful business stands on the foundation of morality.

Henry Ward Beecher

I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

Thomas Alva Edison
