Have a great quote ?....lets keep this going daily, keep it tight and on topic...(ie something we can all gain some wisdom or real inspiration from )

I will kick it off...

" I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.”
~ Bill Cosby

What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning
and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do.
- Bob Dylan

''YES WE CAN''

Two for you.


"Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate, you are sure to wake up somebody."
Longfellow


"Action is the foundational key to all success."
Tony Robbins

"There are no secrets to success: don’t waste time looking for them. Success is the result of perfection, hard work, learning from failure, loyalty to those for whom you work, and persistence."
Colin Powell

My two cents...

"I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot . . . and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why . . . I succeed."
Michael Jordan

"The dictionary is the only place where success comes before work."
Mark Twain

"There's no success like failure"
Bob Dylan

Looking at children's growth, we can see this one from Bob Dylan.

When asked by a reporter the secret of Eddy Merckx's success he was expecting some deep insight. The great cyclist replied, "Ride a lot."

For us here: Play. A lot.

"Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
Samuel Beckett, Worstward Ho (1983)

Some find this quotation defeatist, but I think they've either never been there or misunderstood what it means to strive...

Which reminds me of two oft misquoted lines from Robert Browing's poem Andrea del Sarto (1855):

"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp,
Or what's a heaven for?"

"I think I can, I think I can." (Little Engine that could)
