Always bear in mind that your own resolution to success is more important than any other one thing. Abraham Lincoln		Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Thomas Edison
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		Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose. Bill Gates
Man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated. Ernest Hemingway		Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem. Henry Kissinger
Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it. Henry Thoreau		I don’t know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone. Bill Cosby
