Success listens only to applause. To all else it is deaf.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Applause waits on success.
Applause is the spur of noble minds, the end and aim of weak ones.
Applause is the most powerful thing... people talk about the sound of it, but what I hear is glee.
All of us love applause, and so we should - it means that the listener likes us!
Success is the child of audacity.
The single most important key to success is to be a good listener.
It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.
Applause, it's very nice, of course. But when you're giving, and creating, and then there is the silence of everyone sitting there, listening, waiting, that is great.
If you walk into a room and one hundred people say, 'You are a lovely, beautiful person', who isn't going to be affected by that? But you have to tell yourself not to value that. You have to tell yourself - or at least I do - to not become accustomed to hearing applause in any way, because I think that's dangerous.
Success comes in waves.
