“Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.”

“Action is the foundational key to all success.”

“The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do, well.”

“Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success.”

“The secret of success is to do the common thing uncommonly well.”

“All successful men have agreed in one thing—they were causationists. They believed that things went not by luck, but by law; that there was not a weak or a cracked link in the chain that joins the first and last of things.”

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”
