Nothing fails like success. •Gerald Nachman We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? •Jean Cocteau Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world. •Lily Tomlin The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you. •Nancy Astor For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself. •Rita Mae Brown Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. •Mark Twain The way to learn to do things is to do things. The way to learn a trade is to work at it. Success teaches how to succeed. Begin with the determination to succeed, and the work is half done already. •J.N. Fadenburg Make a success of living by seeing the goal and aiming for it unswervingly. •Cecil B. Demille I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. •Abraham Lincoln The secret of success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you've got it made. •Groucho Marx Americans are the only people in the world known to me whose status anxiety prompts them to advertise their college and university affiliations in the rear window of their automobiles.
