Succeeding Quotes (page 20)

Natalie Goldberg quote: "Play around. Dive into absurdity and write. Take chances. You..."
Play around. Dive into absurdity and write. Take chances. You will succeed if you are fearless of failure. Natalie Goldberg
Anne Frank quote: "I only look at her as a mother, and she doesn't succeed in..."
I only look at her as a mother, and she doesn't succeed in being that to me. Anne Frank
So quickly in youth do different and opposite trains of ideas and emotions succeed to each other; and so easy it is, by a timely exercise of reason and self-command, to prevent a fancy from becoming a passion. Maria Edgeworth
In the end he became as fragmentary as the poems of Sappho he never succeeded in restoring, and finally one morning he looked up into the face of the woman who’d been the greatest love of his life and failed to recognize her. And then there was another kind of blow inside his head; blood pooled in his brain for the last time, washing even the last fragments of his self away. Jeffrey Eugenides
James Joyce quote: "There was no doubt about it: if you wanted to succeed you had..."
There was no doubt about it: if you wanted to succeed you had to go away. You could do nothing in Dublin. James Joyce
It requires but a very small glance of thought to perceive, that although laws made in one generation often continue in force through succeeding generations, yet that they continue to derive their force from the consent of the living. A law not repealed continues in force, not because it cannot be repealed, but because it is not repealed; and the non repealing passes for consent. Thomas Paine
And yet all loneliness, angers, hatreds, envies, and itchings that it contains, if rolled into one single experience and put into the scale against the least moment of the joy that is felt by the least in Heaven, would have no weight that could be registered at all. Bad cannot succeed even in being bad as truly as good is good. C. S. Lewis
Abraham Lincoln quote: "Let no feeling of discouragement preyupon you, and in the end..."
Let no feeling of discouragement preyupon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed. Abraham Lincoln
Base words are uttered only by the base. And can for such at once be understood; But noble platitudes? ah, there's a case. Where the most careful scrutiny is needed. To tell a voice that's genuinely good. From one that's base but merely has succeeded. W. H. Auden
You can't really succeed with a novel anyway; they're too big. It's like city planning. You can't plan a perfect city because there's too much going on that you can't take into account. You can, however, write a perfect sentence now and then. I have. Gore Vidal
I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfis? You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger. Simone de Beauvoir
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway… You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them... Mother Teresa
I do not know many people who think they have succeeded as parents. Those who do tend to cite the markers that indicate (their own) status in the world: the Stanford degree....Those of us less inclined to compliment ourselves on our parenting skills, in other words most of us, recite rosaries of our failures, our neglects, our derelictions and delinquencies. Joan Didion
People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you... Mother Teresa
Michael Jordan quote: "I failed so therefore I succeed."
I failed so therefore I succeed. Michael Jordan
