Success

• "To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is the meaning of success." — Ralph Waldo Emerson
• "There's always something about your success that displeases even your best friends." — Mark Twain
• "Along with success, comes a reputation for wisdom." — Euripides
• "Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success." — Henry Ford
• "Success is more dangerous than failure; the ripples break over a wider coastline." — Graham Greene
• "To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid. You must also be well-mannered." — Voltaire
• "In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it; they must not do too much of it; and they must have a sense of success in it." — W.H. Auden
• The old bromide "Nothing succeeds like success" originated on Oct. 16, 1846. Reporters heard a doctor say it in Boston's General Hospital, after surgeons proved what few believed: that ether really could make patients insensible to pain.
