The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that you're in control of your life. If you don't life controls you.

World War II had been such a tremendous success story for this country that the political and military leadership began to assume that they would prevail simply because of who they were. We were like the British at the turn of the 19th century.

Leadership is the key to 99 percent of all successful efforts.

I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts their talents their insights their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.

By providing outstanding economic leadership this country can wage its attack successfully - and can thereby build the foundations of a peaceful world.

True leadership lies in guiding others to success. In ensuring that everyone is performing at their best doing the work they are pledged to do and doing it well.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength not a lack of knowledge but rather a lack of will.

There tends to be a jealousy in England towards countries that are successful.

So you know I think that Democrats are being more successful in Congress and I'm really going to be proud of the role I will play tomorrow as ranking Democrat on the Intelligence Committee when this bill passes.
