This weeks featured success quotations:
Successful men usually snatch
success from seeming failure. If they know there is such a word as defeat
they will not admit it. They may be whipped, but they are not aware of it.
That is why they succeed.
A. P. Gouthey Quote on Success
God may allow His servant to succeed when He has disciplined him to a point
where he does not need to succeed to be happy. The man who is elated by
success and is cast down by failure is still a carnal man. At best his fruit
will have a worm in it.
A. W. Tozer Quote on Success
To succeed in your mission, you must have single-minded devotion to your
goal.
Abdul Kalam Quote on Success
Whatever you are, be a good one.
Abraham Lincoln Quote on

Adlin Sinclair Quote on
Success
The tears of faithfulness to your beliefs cleanse your spirit to envision
the road ahead. Everything is possible for the person who believes.
Adlin Sinclair Quote on
Success
There can be no hope when there lacks interest for better. There can be no
trust when there lacks confirmation of truth. There can be no faith when
there lacks complete confidence of purpose.
Adlin Sinclair Quote on
Success
To move ahead you need to believe in yourself...have conviction in your
beliefs and the confidence to execute those beliefs.
Adlin Sinclair Quote on
Success
Without faith, hope and trust, there is no promise for the future, and
without a promising future, life has no direction, no meaning and no
justification.
Adlin Sinclair Quote on
Success
A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night,
and in between he does what he wants to do.
Bob Dylan Quote on Success
Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.
Bobby Unser Quote on Success
Next time you go out for dinner, have a look around the table and if
everyone is on your payroll, the chances are you have become a prick.
Bono Quote on Success
Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached
in life... as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to
succeed.
Booker T. Washington Quote on
Success
I believe you have a responsibility to comport yourself in a manner that
gives an example to others. As a young man, I prayed for success. Now I pray
just to be worthy of it.
Brendan Fraser Quote on
Success
If your're not practicing, somebody else is, somewhere, and he'll be ready
to take your job. Brooks Robinson Quote on Success
Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new
talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity
that was at hand.
Bruce Marton Quote on Success
His success may be great, but be it ever so great the wheel of fortune may
turn again and bring him down into the dust Buddha Quote on Success
This weeks featured success poems:
Success is counted sweetest by Emily Dickinson
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of Victory
As he defeated -- dying --
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!
The successful man has
thrust himself by Stephen Crane
The successful man has thrust himself
Through the water of the years,
Reeking wet with mistakes --
Bloody mistakes;
Slimed with victories over the lesser,
A figure thankful on the shore of money.
Then, with the bones of fools
He buys silken banners
Limned with his triumphant face;
With the skins of wise men
He buys the trivial bows of all.
Flesh painted with marrow
Contributes a coverlet,
A coverlet for his contented slumber.
In guiltless ignorance, in ignorant guilt,
He delivered his secrets to the riven multitude.
"Thus I defended: Thus I wrought."
Complacent, smiling,
He stands heavily on the dead.
Erect on a pillar of skulls
He declaims his trampling of babes;
Smirking, fat, dripping,
He makes speech in guiltless ignorance,
Innocence.
A Song Of Success by Robert
William Service
Ho! we were strong, we were swift, we were brave.
Youth was a challenge, and Life was a fight.
All that was best in us gladly we gave,
Sprang from the rally, and leapt for the height.
Smiling is Love in a foam of Spring flowers:
Harden our hearts to him -- on let us press!
Oh, what a triumph and pride shall be ours!
See where it beacons, the star of success!
Cares seem to crowd on us -- so much to do;
New fields to conquer, and time's on the wing.
Grey hairs are showing, a wrinkle or two;
Somehow our footstep is losing its spring.
Pleasure's forsaken us, Love ceased to smile;
Youth has been funeralled; Age travels fast.
Sometimes we wonder: is it worth while?
There! we have gained to the summit at last.
Aye, we have triumphed! Now must we haste,
Revel in victory . . . why! what is wrong?
Life's choicest vintage is flat to the taste --
Are we too late? Have we laboured too long?
Wealth, power, fame we hold . . . ah! but the truth:
Would we not give this vain glory of ours
For one mad, glad year of glorious youth,
Life in the Springtide, and Love in the flowers.
Do They Know? by Andrew
Barton Paterson
Do they know? At the turn to
the straight
Where the favourites fail,
And every last atom of weight
Is telling its tale;
As some grim old stayer hard-pressed
Runs true to his breed,
And with head in front of the rest
Fights on in the lead;
When the jockeys are out with the whips,
With a furlong to go,
And the backers grow white in the lips --
Do you think they don't know?
Do they know? As they come back to weigh
In a whirlwind of cheers,
Though the spurs have left marks of the fray,
Though the sweat on the ears
Gathers cold, and they sob with distress
As they roll up the track,
They know just as well their success
As the man on their back.
As they walk through a dense human lane
That sways to and fro,
And cheers them again and again,
Do you think they don't know?
