"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The true measure of success is revealed only by looking at the obstacles that an individual had to overcome to achieve their goals."

"Dependent people need others to get what they want. Independent people can get what they want through their own efforts. Interdependent people combine their own efforts with the efforts of others to achieve their greatest success."
-- Stephen Covey

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture."
-- Norman Vincent Peale

"There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success."
-- George Matthew Adams

"To succeed, you have to either be first, best, or different. Now what do you need to do to be one of these? What are you working on that you can apply this to? The world is changing every day, so new opportunities to be first come up with the sun each day. If you work on improving your skills and knowledge, you are headed to be the best. And if you study your competition and look for a way to differentiate yourself, you will be different. The result of all this? Success, of course."
-- Edward W. Smith, Sixty Seconds To Success
