Talk not of your personal success to one who has failed; forget not your failures in the moment of success.
Success |
Confucius, aka Kong Qiu, Zhongni, K'ung Fu-tzu or Kong Fuzi NULL
The superior man makes the difficulty to be over come his first interest; success comes only later.
Difficulty | Man | Success |
The rulers of old set off all success to the credit of their people, attributing all failure to themselves.
To be elated at success and disappointed at failure is to be the child of circumstances; how can such a one be called master of himself?
Circumstances | Failure | Success | Failure | Child |
Cheating thrives where unfairness reigns, along with economic anxiety. It thrives where government is the weak captive of wealthy interests and lacks the will to do justice impartially. It thrives where money and success are king, and winners are fawned over whatever their daily abuses of power.
Anxiety | Anxiety | Government | Justice | Money | Power | Success | Unfairness | Will | Government |
Dale Carnegie, originally spelled Dale Carnegey
Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest steppingstones to success. No other element can do so much for a man if he is willing to study them and make capital out of them. Look backward. Can't you see where your failures have helped you?
Confucius, aka Kong Qiu, Zhongni, K'ung Fu-tzu or Kong Fuzi NULL
The ways of the true human being are three. I myself have met with success in none of them. For he that is really Good is never unhappy, he that is really wise is never perplexed, he that is really brave is never afraid.
Dale Carnegie, originally spelled Dale Carnegey
You never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing.

Procrastination is the fear of success. People procrastinate because they are afraid of the success that they know will result if they move ahead now. Because success is heavy, carries a responsibility with it, it is much easier to procrastinate and live on the 'someday I'll’ philosophy.

One man has enthusiasm for 30 minutes, another for 30 days, but it is the man who has it for 30 years who makes a success of his life.
Enthusiasm | Life | Life | Man | Success |
There are two kinds of constancy in love, one arising from incessantly finding in the loved one fresh objects to love, the other from regarding it as a point of honor to be constant.
Every man is enthusiastic at times. One man has enthusiasm for thirty minutes, another man has it for thirty days, but it is the man who has it for thirty years who makes a success in life.
