Ability Is What You

  • 1.
    Focusing your lifesolely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.---- BARACK OBAMA BARBARA JORDAN: All my growth and development led me to believe that if you really do the right thing, and if you play by the rules, and if you've got good enough, solid judgment and common sense, that you're going to be able to do whatever you want to do with your life. COCO CHANEL: How many cares one loses when one decides not to be something but to be someone. CORITA KENT: Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT: I know the price of success: dedication, hard work, and an unremitting devotion to the things you want to see happen. FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT:
  • 2.
    The thing alwayshappens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT: It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. G. K. CHESTERTON: I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite. GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER: How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because some day in life you will have been all of these. GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER: How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these.
  • 3.
    GEORGE WASHINGTON CARVER: Howfar you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these. HAVELOCK ELLIS: It is on our failures that we base a new and different and better success. HELEN HAYES: My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success. HELEN KELLER: I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it is my chief duty to accomplish humble tasks as though they were great and noble. The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker. HENRY DAVID THOREAU:
  • 4.
    The greatest complimentthat was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer. HENRY DAVID THOREAU: I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. HENRY FORD: If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right. also attributed to Mary Kay Ash HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW: The heights by great men reached and kept / Were not attained by sudden flight, / But they, while their companions slept, / Were toiling upward in the night. HERBERT B. SWOPE: I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure: which is: Try to please everybod JAMES A. FROUDE:
  • 5.
    You cannot dreamyourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one. JOHN C. MAXWELL: The depth of your mythology is the extent of your effectiveness. JONAS SALK: The reward for work well done is the opportunity to do more. JONATHAN KOZOL: Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win. On Being a Teacher LILY TOMLIN: Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world. LLOYD JONES: Those who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try nothing and succeed. (adapted)
  • 6.
    LOUIS L'AMOUR: Nobody gotanywhere in the world by simply being content. MARGARET MEAD: I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings. MARIE EBNER VON ESCHENBACH: Conquer, but don't triumph. MAXINE HONG KINGSTON: To me success means effectiveness in the world, that I am able to carry my ideas and values into the world -- that I am able to change it in positive ways. MAYA LIN: To fly, we have to have resistance.
  • 7.
    MICHAEL JORDAN: I've missedmore than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed. MICHAEL KORDA: To succeed, we must first believe that we can. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES: Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it -- but sail we must and not drift, nor lie at anchor. PABLO PICASSO: My mother said to me, "If you become a soldier, you'll be a general; if you become a monk, you'll end up as the Pope." Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso. PEARL S. BUCK:
  • 8.
    The person whotries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration. PEARL S. BUCK: The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. PEARL S. BUCK: The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after generation. RALPH WALDO EMERSON: Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect. RALPH WALDO EMERSON: Self-trust is the first secret of success. RICHARD BACH: Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.
  • 9.
    ROBERT F. KENNEDY: Onlythose who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly. SAMUEL SMILES: It is a mistake to suppose that men succeed through success; they much oftener succeed through failures. Precept, study, advice, and example could never have taught them so well as failure has done.

THOMAS WOLFE: You have reached the pinnacle of success as soon as you become uninterested in money, compliments, or publicity. URSULA K. LE GUIN: Success is somebody else's failure. Success is the American Dream we can keep dreaming because most people in most places, including thirty million of ourselves, live wide awake in the terrible reality of poverty.

VINCE LOMBARDI: Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing. VINCE LOMBARDI: Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Hard work is the price we must pay for success. I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price. WALTER CRONKITE: I can't imagine a person becoming a success who doesn't give this game of life everything he's got.
  • 11.
    WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON: Thesuccess of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers. WILLIAM LYON PHELPS: This is the final test of a gentleman: his respect for those who can be of no possible value to him. WILLIAM M. WINANS: Not doing more than the average is what keeps the average down. WILLIAM MENNINGER: Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom, charity. WILLIAM SAROYAN: Good people are good because they've come to wisdom through failure. We get very little wisdom from success, you know.
