SUCCESS QUOTES V

quotations about success

Failure means that you would not, or could not, pay for success. Success is a matter of sale. It can (most often) be bought by a large outlay--of hard forethought--of pains--of steadiness--of the golden wisdom coined from experience. But the figure is too high for most of us. We are too poor, or too slothful, to bring the price.

Keep away from people who are always despondent; who always have a mental picture of some bad luck that is on the way. You can derive no benefit from association with such people; they spread the contagion of poverty thought, and in their company you will surely assimilate some of their ruinous-thought element. To say that "I can" and "I will" places you in alignment with thought currents that inevitably lead to "SUCCESS."
