I've learned it's always better to have a small percentage of a big success than a hundred percent of nothing.

I never expected any sort of success with 'Mockingbird'... I sort of hoped someone would like it enough to give me encouragement.

Team GB's success at the Beijing Olympics can in part be said to have been made in Manchester. For example all the cycling medal winners trained at Manchester's velodrome the National Cycling Centre.

The success of any great moral enterprise does not depend upon numbers.

I want to make sure I don't interfere with the success of that team next year. I don't see any way I could go to practice like most of 'em do and not hurt the team. I'd go nuts if I tried doing that.

Being best is a false goal you have to measure success on your own terms.

Well I do feel that I carry the responsibility of representing my country wherever I am and this responsibility came with the success that I had in last couple of years not just myself but the whole group of tennis players that comes from Serbia. And athletes in general are in this moment the biggest ambassadors that our country has.

Yeah ideally I'd probably wish to be more anonymous. But scrutiny and success go together. And I want to be successful.

I went to America and got into a band had success had hits in Australia.

We all know that Social Security is one of this country's greatest success stories in the 20th century.

When everything happens to you when you're so young you're very lucky but by the same token you're never going to have that same feeling again. The first time anything happens to you - your first love your first success - the second one is never the same.

Like everybody I have invested in things that have gone bad because there's never any guarantee of success or profit when it comes to money.

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.

With 'Believe' bringing really big success for me outside of the U.K. for the first time it meant I have been touring around the world and that led to a gap from the studio. I really feel like the gap has done me the world of good. Throughout that time I was able to collect songs that I really loved.

When I meet successful people I ask 100 questions as to what they attribute their success to. It is usually the same: persistence hard work and hiring good people.

Success is always temporary. When all is said and one the only thing you'll have left is your character.

I have more love success and security than I could ever dream of.

It's absolutely essential that we have the same safeguards that straight couples do. But I want more than a 50 percent chance of success. I don't want to emulate that.

I feel like a hostage to fortune. Not that I am complaining. I wanted to play the role. But in truth I didn't think the show would be such a success. OK I thought it would fail. Not because it was bad. I was confident it was good but plenty of good things just sort of wither on the vine.

Sometimes because of my success I am afraid that I was not a good father. With the first two I was too strong and with the other three I was too weak.

Excess is success.

Success is not in never failing but rising everytime you fall!

Success is the necessary misfortune of life but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early.

In a way a certain amount of self-criticism is a good thing because it keeps you humble. Realizing that no matter what success you've achieved you can still make enemies makes you humble too.
