    “Seek wisdom.  Wisdom waits to be gathered.  She cannot be bartered or sold.  She is a fight for the diligent.  And only the diligent will find her.  The lazy man – the stupid man – never even looks.  Though wisdom is available to many, she is found by few.  Seek wisdom.  Find her, and you will find success and contentment.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

      “The words It’s not my fault! should never again come from your mouth.  The words It’s not my fault! have been symbolically written on the gravestones of unsuccessful people ever since Eve took her first bite of the apple.” ~ Andy Andrews, The Traveler’s Gift

        “The majority see the obstacles; the few see the objectives; history records the successes of the latter, while oblivion is the reward of the former.” ~ Alfred Montapert

          “Striving for success without hard work is like trying to harvest where you haven’t planted.” ~ David Bly

            “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.” ~ Maya Angelou

              “Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.” – Bill Gates

                “Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don’t waste it with a false start or no start at all. You were not born to fail.” ~ Og Mandino

                  “Underpromise; overdeliver.” ~ Tom Peters

                    “How do I define success? Let me tell you, money’s pretty nice. But having a lot of money does not automatically make you a successful person. What you want is money and meaning. You want your work to be meaningful, because meaning is what brings the real richness to your life.” ~ Oprah Winfrey

                      “Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, harness your power to your passion. Honor your calling. Everybody has one. Trust your heart, and success will come to you.” ~ Oprah Winfrey

                        “All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence; then success is sure.” ~ Mark Twain

                          “The toughest thing about success is that you’ve got to keep on being a success. Talent is only a starting point in this business. You’ve got to keep on working that talent. Someday I’ll reach for it and it won’t be there.” ~ Irving Berlin

                            “When I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought, ” When I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars. I want to have groupies.” But my idea of success is different today. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give into peer pressure, to try to be something that you’re not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way.” ~ Ellen DeGeneres

                              “There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way.” ~ Christopher Morley

                                “What’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.” ~ Bob Dylan

                                  “The leaders we revere and the businesses that last are generally not the result of a narrow pursuit of popularity or personal advancement, but of devotion to some bigger purpose. That’s the hallmark of real success. The other trapping of success might be the by product of this larger mission, but it can’t be the central thing.” ~ Barack Obama

                                    “I’ve come to embrace the notion that I haven’t done enough in my life. I’ve come to confirm that one’s title, even a title like president of the United States, says very little about how well one’s life has been led. No matter how much you’ve done or how successful you’ve been, there’s always more to do, always more to learn, and always more to achieve.” ~ Barack Obama

                                      “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

                                        “To follow, without halt, one aim: There’s the secret of success.” ~ Anna Pavlova

                                          “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
