In the end, you make your reputation and you have your success based upon credibility and being able to provide people who are really hungry for information what they want.

You've got to ask! Asking is, in my opinion, the world's most powerful - and neglected - secret to success and happiness.

Despite the success cult, men are most deeply moved not by the reaching of the goal but by the grandness of the effort involved in getting there - or failing to get there.

My college degree was in theater. But the real reason, if I have any success in that milieu, so to speak, is because I spent a lot of years directing, I spent a lot of years behind the camera.

Real success is being totally indulgent about your own trip. You put your blinders on about the garbage and go full speed ahead.

Do something you really like, and hopefully it pays the rent. As far as I'm concerned, that's success.

Success is more dangerous than failure, the ripples break over a wider coastline.

Nearly all monster stories depend for their success on Jack killing the Giant, Beowulf or St. George slaying the Dragon, Harry Potter triumphing over the basilisk. That is their inner grammar, and the whole shape of the story leads towards it.

I think you can have moderate success by copying something else, but if you really want to knock it out of the park, you have to do something different and take chances.

As you walk in God's divine wisdom, you will surely begin to see a greater measure of victory and good success in your life.
