The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind.

In Washington, success is just a training course for failure.

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.

Nothing like the appearance of success, succeeds.

I'd like to be lucky enough so that I could throw the soap away after the letters are worn off.

Every successful man I have heard of has done the best he could with conditions as he found them, and not waited until next year for better.

Nothing succeeds like the appearance of success.

Not to the swift, the race: Not to the strong, the fight: Not to the righteous, perfect grace: Not to the wise, the light. But often faltering feet Come surest to the goal; And they who walk in darkness meet The sunrise of the soul.

All real success springs from that inward might which we exert upon society.

Success and failure are not true op-posites and they're not even in the same class; they're not even a couch and a chair.
