The prospect of success in achieving our most cherished dream is not without its terrors. Who is more deprived and alone than the man who has achieved his dream?
Brendan Francis BehanIn Hollywood a marriage is a success if it outlasts milk.

Judy GarlandThe world tolerates conceit from those who are successful, but not from anybody else.
John BlakeSuccess is dependent on effort.
Sophocles'How can they say my life isn't a success? Have I not for more than sixty years got enough to eat and escaped being eaten?'
Logan Pearsall SmithThis unusual and highly successful species spends a great deal of time examining his higher motives and an equal amount of time ignoring his fundamental ones.
Desmond MorrisIt is now Steve McClaren's job to decide on Beckham's successor. He has a lot of choices that are more than capable of doing the job. It is very much up to him
Sven Goran ErikssonFailure is success if we learn from it.
Malcolm ForbesIn ambition, as in love, the successful can afford to be indulgent toward their rivals. The prize our own, it is graceful to recognize the merit that vainly aspired to it.
Christian Nestell BoveeOften a certain abdication of prudence and foresight is an element of success.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI am not a miracle worker, but I have done things of this nature before. It's 95 per cent down to the team and the players themselves to win. There is a five per cent gap that the fans can close to bring success.
Uri GellerThough a hundred crooked paths may conduct to a temporary success, the one plain and straight path of public and private virtue can alone lead to a pure and lasting fame and the blessings of posterity

George WashingtonI hate the phrase 'former porn queen.' That part of my life was a long time ago. Think of something else to call me... I'm successful in spite of my past, not because of it.
Traci LordsPsychoanalysis. Almost went three times - almost. Then I decided what was peculiar about me was probably what made me successful. I've seen some very talented actors go into analysis and really lose it.
Bette DavisIt's the quality of the ordinary, the straight, the square, that accounts for the great stability and success of our nation. It's a quality to be proud of. But it's a quality that many people seem to have neglected.

Jules RenardSuccess is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love
what you are doing, you will be successful
Herman CainI don't think we've been influenced massively by our success and by our travels. The lyrics [singer Chris Martin] writes are more basic than that, more basic, emotional ideas rather than life experiences. There's probably a few lines in there which reflect what's happened in the last year or so, but it's hard to say
Guy BerrymanAs a person who inwardly revolts all the time, I'm a raging success. [that's always good to know...]

Robert BennettFrom success you get a lot of things, but not that great inside thing that love brings you.
Samuel GoldwynI don't believe in the so-called Latino explosion when it comes to movies. Jennifer Lopez doesn't have an accent. She grew up in New York speaking English not Spanish. Her success is very important because she represents a different culture, but it doesn't help me. I grew up in Mexico, not the US, and the fact is that there just aren't any parts for Latin actresses. I have to persuade people that my accent won't be a problem, but an asset.

Booker T WashingtonSuccess usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.
Henry David ThoreauSuccess seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.
Conrad HiltonI believe you have a responsibility to comport yourself in a manner that gives an example to others. As a young man, I prayed for success. Now I pray just to be worthy of it.
Brendan FraserThe way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime.
Babe RuthSuccess is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.
Winston ChurchillMen of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
Dale CarnegieFor a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.
Richard Feynman Success is a science; if you have the conditions, you get the result.
Oscar WildeI'm not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones, those that achieve success and those that don't. Please don't call me arrogant, but I'm European champion and I think I'm a special one
Jose MourinhoHe was a self-made man who owed his lack of success to nobody.
Joseph HellerIt was phenomenal. I was doing two ongoing series, each totally different from the other, and they were both successful. [On a very successful acting period in his career]

Harold GeneenAdmiration is a very short-lived passion that immediately decays upon growing familiar with its object, unless it be still fed with fresh discoveries, and kept alive by a new perpetual succession of miracles rising up to its view.
Joseph AddisonIn Hollywood if you're good looking, tall, have OK teeth and nice skin, the odds of being successful are great. If you're short and fat, it's a different story. But as long as you look like a leading man type, half your job is done already.
