~~ I am not the author of the following written material, and I lay no claim to be the author. ~~
2. All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.
3. Be a tail to lions rather than a head to jackals.
4. Be commonplace and creeping, and you attain all things.
5. Bit by bit the man achieves success. This should be valued but not pushed too far. When the moon is full, waning is inevitable. Quiescence is in order.
6. Brave conquerors! for so you are That war against your own affections, And the huge army of the world's desires.
7. Conquered, we conquer.
8. Constant success shows us but one side of the world; for, as it surrounds us with friends, who will tell us only our merits, so it silences those enemies from whom alone we can learn our defects.
9. Despise no man and consider nothing impossible, for there is no man who does not have his hour and there is no thing that does not have its place.
10. Do not think dishonestly... Distinguish between gain and loss in worldly matters. Develop intuitive judgement and understanding for everything. Perceive those things which cannot be seen. Pay attention even to trifles. Do nothing which is of no use.
11. Experience has always shown, and reason also, that affairs which depend on many seldom succeed.
12. He conquers twice who conquers himself in victory.
13. He that climbs the tall tree has won right to the fruit, He that leaps the wide gulf should prevail in his suit.

15. He will succeed if he remains firm in principle and goes beyond selfish considerations to mingle freely with those who do not share his feelings, as well as those who do.
16. I can give you a six-word formula for success: "Think things through - then follow through."
17. If one is intelligent and applies himself well, What can he not accomplish? Even small bands of people, I have heard, Have defeated whole armies.
18. If you would be well with a great mind, leave him with a favourable impression of you; if with a little mind, leave him with a favourable opinion of himself.
19. If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it: Every arrow that flies feels the attraction of earth.
20. More will be accomplished, and better, and with more ease, if every man does what he is best fitted to do, and nothing else.
21. Not to the swift, the race: Not to the strong, the fight: Not to the righteous, perfect grace: Not to the wise, the light.
22. Nothing is impossible to the man who can will, and then do; this is the only law of success.
23. One beam alone... No matter how stout...Cannot support a house.
24. One's own self conquered is better than all other people; not even a god could change into defeat the victory of a man who has vanquished himself, and always lives under restraint.
25. Our plans miscarry if they have no aim. When a man does not know what harbour he is making for, no wind is the right wind.
26. Perhaps, for worldly success, we need virtues that make us loved and faults that make us feared.
27. Prepare for the difficult while it is still easy. Deal with the big while it is still small. Difficult undertakings have always started with what's easy. Great undertakings always started with what is small. Therefore the sage never strives for the great, And thereby the great is achieved.
28. Presence of mind, and courage in distress, Are more than armies to procure success.

36. Success is full of promises till men get it; and then it is as last year's nest, from which the bird has flown.
37. Success is the reward of toil.
38. Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
39. Success makes success, as money makes money.
40. Success produces confidence; confidence relaxes industry, and negligence ruins the reputation which accuracy had raised.
41. Success soon palls. The joyous time is when the breeze first strikes your sails, and the waters rustle under your bows.
42. Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.
43. Success, the mark no mortal wit, Or surest hand, can always hit: For what soe'er we perpetrate, We do but row, we're steer'd by Fate, Which in success oft disinherits, For spurious causes, noblest merits.
44. The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary, it makes them for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind. Failure makes people cruel and bitter.
45. The earnest desire of succeeding is almost always a prognostic of success.
46. The first and best victory is to conquer self; to be conquered by self is of all things most shameful and vile.
47. The great are they who attempt the difficult things, which lesser men avoid.
48. The great man is he who does not lose his child-heart. He does not think beforehand that his words shall be sincere, nor that his acts shall be resolute; he simply abides in the right.
49. The greatest victory is defeat.
50. The men who are great live with that which is substantial, they do not stay with that which is superficial; they abide with realities, they remain not with what is showy. The one they discard, the other they hold.
51. The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.
52. The superior man understands what is right; the inferior man understands what will sell.
53. The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.
54. The three great essentials to achieve anything worth- while are first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.
55. The true road to pre-eminent success in any line is to make yourself master of that line.
56. There is nothing so dreadful as a great victory - except a great defeat.
57. There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.
58. To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.
59. To conquer oneself is a greater victory than to conquer thousands in a battle.
60. To him who knoweth the true nature of things, What need is there of a teacher? To him who hath recovered from illness, What need is there of a physician? To him who hath crossed the river, What need is there of a boat?
61. To those who believe and do good deeds, for them are gardens beneath which flow rivers. This is the great triumph.
62. To win a race, the swiftness of a dart availeth not without a timely start.

70. Which does one love more, fame or one's own life? Which is more valuable, one's own life or wealth? Which is worse, gain or loss? Therefore He who has lavish desires will spend extravagantly. He who hoards most will lose heavily. He who is contented suffers no disgrace. He who knows when to stop is free from danger. Therefore he can long endure.
71. Without victory there is no survival!
72. Yield to him who opposes you; by yielding you conquer.
