One might think that the money value of an invention constitutes its reward to the man who loves his work. But... I continue to find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.
Thomas A. Edison

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
George S. Patton

Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good.
Joe Paterno

I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom.
George S. Patton

The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.
George S. Patton

What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that really matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life, but in other people's lives.
Oprah Winfrey

You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it.

Helen Keller

Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.
Pablo Picasso

Pablo Picasso

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.
Helen Keller

I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it.
Jonathan Winters

It has always seemed strange to me... the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
John Steinbeck

Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.
Jim Rohn

Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
Jim Rohn

Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.
Jim Rohn

Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
Jim Rohn

Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals.
Jim Rohn

It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.
Bill Gates
