Often the difference between a successful man and a failure is not one's better abilities or ideas but the courage that one has to bet on his ideas to take a calculated risk and to act.

Failure is only postponed success as long as courage 'coaches' ambition. The habit of persistence is the habit of victory.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish but by the opposition you have encountered and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

Success is not final failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Success is never final failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

If I wasn't even famous or had any success I would still wake up and put tons of make-up on and put on a cool outfit. That's always been who I've been my whole life so that's never gonna change. I love fashion. I love getting dressed up. I love Halloween too.

Many individuals are doing what they can. But real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and in our economics and in our politics.

Successful people recognize crisis as a time for change - from lesser to greater smaller to bigger.

I told you I'm not going to criticize my successor. I'll just tell you that there are people at Gitmo that will kill American people at a drop of a hat and I don't believe that persuasion isn't going to work. Therapy isn't going to cause terrorists to change their mind.

Enjoying success requires the ability to adapt. Only by being open to change will you have a true opportunity to get the most from your talent.
