'No one can make you successful; the will to success comes from within.' I've made this my motto. I've internalized it to the point of understanding that the success of my actions and/or endeavors doesn't depend on anyone else, and that includes a possible failure.

If it's going to go my way, it's going to go my way. I have to keep working hard.

You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.

I've always had to have some kind of failure before I was successful.

The road to success has to have obstacles because, at the end of the day, when success comes, it will be that much better.

You can't achieve anything without getting in someone's way.

I took the hardest possible route that you could take, and I still overcame and succeeded.

I've always done things my way.

When someone gets a success, and we, too, have done good work and sometimes even better work than the person who has just triumphed, we wonder: 'Why did success pass me by?'
