Here are some quotes about success that I would like to share with everyone:

If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), Observer, Jan. 15, 1950

Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)

A great secret of success is to go through life as a man who never gets used up.
Albert Schweitzer (1875 - 1965)

To follow, without halt, one aim: There's the secret of success.
Anna Pavlova (1885 - 1931)

The person who makes a success of living is the one who see his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication.
Cecil B. DeMille (1881 - 1959)

The man of virtue makes the difficulty to be overcome his first business, and success only a subsequent consideration.
Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC), The Confucian Analects

Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life.
Dr. David M. Burns

My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that 'achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.'
Helen Hayes (1900 - 1993)

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

Try and fail, but don't fail to try.
Stephen Kaggwa

The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.
Tony Blair

Success is that old ABC -- ability, breaks, and courage.
Charles Luckman
