More men fail through lack of purpose than lack of talent.

Few things are impracticable in themselves; and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.

Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity that was at hand.

It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.

People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.

The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.

To have success in your professional life is not so hard. To succeed as a man is more difficult.

Success or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results.

A man can get discouraged many times but he is not a failure until he begins to blame somebody else and stops trying.
