Nothing fails like success. •Gerald Nachman We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like? •Jean Cocteau Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world. •Lily Tomlin The penalty for success is to be bored by the people who used to snub you. •Nancy Astor For you to be successful, sacrifices must be made. It's better that they are made by others but failing that, you'll have to make them yourself. •Rita Mae Brown Part of the secret of success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside. •Mark Twain The way to learn to do things is to do things.

That low man seeks a little thing to do,

His hundreds soon hit:
His high man, aiming at a million,
Misses an unit.

If a man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or
can make better chairs read more

If a man has good corn, or wood, or boards, or pigs to sell, or
can make better chairs or knives, crucibles, or church organs,
than anybody else, you will find a broad, hard-beaten road to his
house, tho it be in the woods. And if a man knows the law,
people will find it out, tho he live in a pine shanty, and resort
to him. And if a man can pipe or sing, so as to wrap the
prisoned soul in an elysium; or can paint landscape, and convey
into oils and ochers all the enchantments of spring or autumn; or
can liberate or intoxicate all people who hear him with delicious
songs and verses, 'tis certain that the secret can not be kept:
the first witness tells it to a second, and men go by fives and
tens and fifties to his door.
