These are all good but I'm not asking for just SUCCESS quotes...I want quotes that talk about being successful when others want you to fail or when the odds are against you.

If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

David McCullough

" If you make all your decisions from a place of love, then you will never again make a wrong choice."
Written in 2005 by Rachael Bermingham --- Australia


Success
To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
Bessie Stanley (adapted; erroneously attributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson)

I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings.
Margaret Mead

“The first and most important step toward success is the feeling that we can succeed.”

“Life's real failure is when you do not realize how close you were to success when you gave up.”

“Mistakes are stepping stones to success.”

“Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started”

“Success is achieved by developing our strengths, not by eliminating our weaknesses”

“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.”

“Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.”

“Anyone can give up; it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

"Success is failure turned inside out". You must give your very best in order to succeed, because there are only two possible outcomes. It is either you succeed or you fail. So, if you have these so-called "series of unfortunate events" try to turn them inside out.

" A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him. "

“He worked by day
And toiled by night.
He gave up play
And some delight.
Dry books he read,
New things to learn.
And forged ahead,
Success to earn.
He plodded on with
Faith and pluck;
And when he won,
Men called it luck …”
