Most of our businesses do succeed, but if something completely fails, then as long as we bow out gracefully and pay off all our debts, and nobody gets hurt, then I don’t think people disrespect Virgin for trying. The public appreciates someone having a go; it appreciates the attempt. Who’s been a success in life who hasn’t failed? Richard Branson

I attribute all of my success to my Catholic faith. My faith has given me the ability to be a good father, a good husband and most importantly a good person. Mark Wahlberg

Premature success gives one an almost mystical conception of destiny as opposed to will power – at its worst the Napoleonic delusion. F. Scott Fitzgerald

Childhood is like a mirror, which reflects in afterlife the images first presented to it. The first thing continues forever with the child. The first joy, the first sorrow, the first success, the first failure, the first achievement, the first misadventure, paint the foreground of his life. Samuel Smiles

Most people assume that a record shop’s success lies in selling records. In fact, Virgin’s success both in mail order and the record shops lay in skill at buying records. Richard Branson

Too often in the past, we have thought of the artist as an idler and dilettante and of the lover of arts as somehow sissy and effete. We have done both an injustice. The life of the artist is, in relation to his work, stern and lonely. He has labored hard, often amid deprivation, to perfect his skill. He has turned aside from quick success in order to strip his vision of everything secondary or cheapening. His working life is marked by intense application and intense discipline. John F. Kennedy

Affirm for yourself that you are a success. Affirm that you are successful in getting rid of your clutter. If you are having a hard time getting started, be grateful that you are such a successful clutterer. Who else could have amassed such a collection of stuff? Emmet Fox
