My mother said to me, “If you become a soldier, you’ll be a general; if you become a monk, you’ll end up as the Pope.” Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso.

Success is my only option, failure’s not.

Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

Have no fear of perfection – you’ll never reach it.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

Try not to become a man of success, but a man of value. Look around at how people want to get more out of life than they put in. A man of value will give more than he receives. Be creative, but make sure that what you create is not a curse for mankind. 

“The success of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our gross domestic product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on the ability to extend opportunity to every willing heart - not out of charity, but because it is the surest route to our common good.” 

The people who succeed are irrationally passionate about something.

Living our life deeply and with happiness, having time to care for our loved ones – this is another kind of success, another kind of power, and it is much more important.

The difference between successful people and very successful people is that very successful people say ‘no’ to almost everything.

If you want to be successful, find out what the price is and then pay it.

Find somebody to be successful for. Raise their hopes. Think of their needs.

Shallow men believe in luck. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

The true success is the person who invented himself.

“Three keys to success: read, read, read.” 

"I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success. Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses."

"The important thing is that your teammates have to know you're pulling for them and you really want them to be successful." 

Use your success, wealth and influence to put them in the best position to realize their own dreams and find their true purpose.

Once you know what failure feels like, determination chases success.

“To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.”

“To learn to succeed, you must first learn to fail.”

“The key to success is failure.”

“In order for man to succeed in life, God provided him with two means, education and physical activity. Not separately, one for the soul and the other for the body, but for the two together. With these means, man can attain perfection.” 

“Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall.”
