One has to devote oneself to a particular pursuit. To be successful at anything, you have to make a total commitment to it.
If you want to achieve things in life, you've just got to do them, and if you're talented and smart, you'll succeed.
Permanent success cannot be achieved except by incessant intellectual labour, always inspired by the ideal.
Success in any endeavor depends on the degree to which it is an expression of your true self.
A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one's own path, not chasing after the dreams of others.
Success is following the pattern of life one enjoys most.
I believe that living life with a definiteness of purpose, with having a central focus, is essential to success.
Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.
I've succeeded at everything except my life.
Life is a succession of moments, to live each one is to succeed.
