Success, they taught me, is built on the foundation of courage, hard-work and individual responsibility. Despite what some would have us believe, success is not built on resentment and fears.

Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.

It goes without saying that it's hard to attain a certain level of success.

Sometimes it seems that we are successful only because we have not tried hard enough for our best. We do the hard thing, and one day we succeed, and many things are made plain to us.

I don't know many people, if any, who have had some straight line toward success. I mean, they start here, they work hard, they've got what it takes, and they just go straight to the top over some number of years. Most people get a little failure.

There are a lot of people who think that's what's needed to be successful is always being right, always being careful, always picking the right path.

The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.

Successful people will always tell you you can do something. It's the people who have never accomplished anything who will always discourage you from trying to achieve excellent things.

I believed and still believe that success is only part of the story. It makes you want to get better and better so as not to let yourself down and not to let the people down who like what you do and you don't waste your success.

Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them.
