I have nothing but sympathy for the people who are forced to work with me. I'm better now at picking out those that want to play that game with me and those that don't.

To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.

I think that everything you do helps you to write if you're a writer. Adversity and success both contribute largely to making you what you are. If you don't experience either one of those you're being deprived of something.

You may lose your wife you may lose your dog your mother may hate you. None of those things matter. What matters is that you achieve success and become free. Then you can do whatever you like.

I think all of us certainly believed the statistics which said that probably 88% chance of mission success and maybe 96% chance of survival. And we were willing to take those odds.

Evolution acts slowly. Our psychological characteristics today are those that promoted reproductive success in the ancestral environmen.

I have found no greater satisfaction than achieving success through honest dealing and strict adherence to the view that for you to gain those you deal with should gain as well.

I'm not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones those that achieve success and those that don't.

All those who are around me are the bridge to my success so they are all important.

I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.

The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion.

I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike?

We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don't like?

No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.

We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends namely when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success.

Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying.

If we become one of those societies that attack success why not come as certain there will be a lot less success? And that's not who we are.

Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn't that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.

Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves.

Success is counted sweetest by those who never succeed.

I have prayed to God that he give me the strength to survive each day and to face those times in my life that will be extremely painful. I have put my total faith in God and he will take care of me.

The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.
