Success

You can't cross the sea merely by standing and staring at the water

Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside

The greater the obstacle, the more the glory in overcoming it

One secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes

Success is the one unpardonable sin against our fellows

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value

Man is only great when he acts from passion
