The success or failure of a life, as far as posterity goes, seems to lie in the more or less luck of seizing the right moment of escape.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Much of the success of life depends upon keeping one's mind open to opportunity and seizing it when it comes.
Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with a blind, furious optimism.
True success is overcoming the fear of being unsuccessful.
Sometimes you learn more from failure than you do from success, and in some ways it's better to have failure at the beginning of your career, or your life.
Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.
Life is nothing but a bunch of experiences. There's no such thing as success or failure.
I am convinced that success is not measured by what you get out of life, but by what you give back.
Success is the necessary misfortune of life, but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early.
