Successful Life Quotes (page 12)

And indeed, it cannot be denied that the most successful practitioners of life, often unknown people by the way, somehow contrive to synchronize the sixty or seventy different times which beat simultaneously in every normal human system, so that when eleven strikes, all the rest chime in unison, and the present is neither a violent disruption nor completely forgotten in the past. Virginia Woolf
I never paid you a compliment, Rachel, in my life. Successful love may sometimes use the language of flattery, I admit. But hopeless love, dearest, always speaks the truth. Wilkie Collins
I think there is only one form of greatness for man. If a man can bridge the gap between life and death. I mean, if he can live on after he has died, then maybe he was a great man. To me the only success, the only greatness, is immortality. James Dean
Alan Moore quote: "Why do we argue? Life's so fragile, a successful virus..."
Why do we argue? Life's so fragile, a successful virus clinging to a speck of mud, suspended in endless nothing. Alan Moore
Abraham Joshua Heschel quote: "Never once in my life did I ask God for success or wisdom or..."
Never once in my life did I ask God for success or wisdom or power or fame. I asked for wonder, and he gave it to me. Abraham Joshua Heschel
Grief ... gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn't seem worth starting anything. I can't settle down. I yawn, I fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness. C. S. Lewis
I will, however, establish that success in love, as in all other aspects of life, belongs, as a rule, to the persistent and fiber man. Chaucer had reason to make the Old Bath confess: 'The truth is, more or less, we always succumb to attention and perseverance'. Frank Harris
Advance confidently in the direction of your own dream, endeavor to live the life which you have imagined. When you do, you will meet with a success un-imagineable in common hours. Henry David Thoreau
No man demands what he desires; each man demands what he fancies he can get. Soon people forget what the man really wanted first; and after a successful and vigorous political life, he forgets it himself. The whole is an extravagant riot of second bests, a pandemonium of pis-aller. Gilbert K. Chesterton
Benjamin Disraeli quote: "As a rule, he or she who has the most information will have..."
As a rule, he or she who has the most information will have the greatest success in life. Benjamin Disraeli
Stunt dwarf or destroy the imagination of a child and you have taken away its chances of success in life. Imagination transforms the commonplace into the great and creates the new out of the old. L. Frank Baum
O youth or young man, who fancy that you are neglected by the Gods, know that if you become worse you shall go to the worse souls, or if better to the better, and in every succession of life and death you will do and suffer what like may fitly suffer at the hands of like. This is the justice of heaven. Plato Plato
Christopher Morley quote: "There is only one success: to be able to spend life in your..."
There is only one success: to be able to spend life in your own way and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it. Christopher Morley
Saying we should keep the two-party system simply because it is working is like saying the Titanic voyage was a success because a few people survived on life rafts. Eugene McCarthy
And we all nodded at him: the man of finance, the man of accounts, the man of law, we all nodded at him over the polished table that like a still sheet of brown water reflected our faces, lined, wrinkled; our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone? has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash? together with the youth, with the strength, with the...
