    I like the one by Winston Churchill the most. It’s interesting that success is to a person what they strive for across their life. I think our modern culture is far to hung up on the material things of this life and measure success by what they accumulate along the way… never realizing the legacy they leave will be measured by what their definition of success was.

      Totally agree with you. A lot of people think success is having more stuff when it fact it’s not. Thank you for reading and adding to the discussion.

    I like that Anonymus one – not looking too surprised if you don’t succeed at first :) .

    Some of my favorites are

    “God loves using small people”

    “God can do a lot with one man who has faith & no strength, than with twenty who have strength and no faith. ”

    “God has a plan for you (& you alone) and the only way it will come to pass is if you learn to be comfortable with being different”

    by your’s truly :)

    Great post. I will clip it evernote!

    I like them all! I have learned that sometimes what is success to me is abject failure to some others. For them, I pray patience; for me I just give thanks.

    Quotes are useless without results – but they can certainly remove mental cobwebs and force upon you some much needed mental clarity. With that said, recently – I have enjoyed this one:

    “It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us and makes us unique. It’s not easy, but if you accept your misfortune and handle it right your perceived failure can become a catalyst for profound re-invention.”
    ― Conan O’Brien, Dartmouth College Commencement, 2011
