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

Arnold SchwarzeneggerWe must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.
Henry David ThoreauI have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.
Paulo CoelhoIsrael was not created in order to disappear – Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.

Ralph Waldo EmersonThere has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.
Theodore RooseveltLiverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success, then nobody knows how it is, but in Liverpool, everybody knows how it was.
Jurgen KloppThese wretched babies don’t come until they are ready.
Queen Elizabeth IIBut, you know, you can’t be a star at home.

George LucasI didn’t know how to deal with success. If there was a Rock Star 101, I would have liked to take it. It might have helped me.
Kurt CobainLife affords no higher pleasure than that of surmounting difficulties, passing from one step of success to another, forming new wishes and seeing them gratified.

But let man believe in God, and immediately all around him the elements, even the irksome, of the inevitable organize themselves into a friendly whole, ordered to the ultimate success of life.
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinLots of young players have triumphed at United, so why can’t it happen to me? I’m not worried I’m young – it’s an incentive to do the best I can.
Cristiano RonaldoSurface R&B doesn’t work any more. The whole heartthrob thing, songs about unrealistic love and tearing your shirt off every show – that’s not really where it’s at any more. It’s becoming harder for those guys to sell records, and harder for them to succeed.
DrakeWe aim above the mark to hit the mark.
Ralph Waldo EmersonPeople tend to play in their comfort zone, so the best things are achieved in a state of surprise, actually.
Brian EnoWe dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.
Matthew McConaugheyEven a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Carl JungWhen I was nine years old, living on the south side of Chicago, my father was a minister and my mother used to scrub floors. I had seven brothers and four sisters.

Kendrick LamarI look at where I’m at today and realize that most of my success is owed to the mentors that was in my life.
Kendrick LamarYou start to become successful, and everybody starts to drive your money train to the bank, and they’re not thinking anymore about what you want as an artist or if any of that even matters to you. It genuinely upsets people in my life that I don’t care about money, and that’s not my problem.
Lady GagaOnly stupid people are changed by success.
Jurgen KloppBottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

Samuel JohnsonYou aren’t going to find anybody that’s going to be successful without making a sacrifice and without perseverance.
Lou HoltzA dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Elbert HubbardBarack Obama would not be President if he were dark skin. You know what I mean? That’s just the truth. I might not be as successful as I am now if I was dark skin.

Steve JobsIf a man can… make a better mousetrap, the world will make a beaten path to his door.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhat we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.
Samuel JohnsonWhat’s money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.
Bob DylanBefore success comes in any man’s life, he’s sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps some failures. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and the most logical thing to do is to quit. That’s exactly what the majority of men do.
Napoleon HillI didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
Steve JobsI read to my kid, but I can’t stand reading.
Adam SandlerI grew up where, when a door closed, a window didn’t open. The only thing I had was cracks. I’d do everything to get through those cracks – scratch, claw, bite, push, bleed. Now the opportunity is here. The door is wide open, and it’s as big as a garage.
Dwayne Johnson
