Famous quotes containing the word success:
“We live in a system of approximations. Every end is prospective of some other end, which is also temporary; a round and final success nowhere. We are encamped in nature, not domesticated.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I would be glad to worship success if I could find her.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“It’s not a field, I think, for people who need to have success every day: if you can’t live with a nightly sort of disaster, you should get out. I wouldn’t describe myself as lacking in confidence, but I would just say that ... the ghosts you chase you never catch.”
—John Malkovich (b. 1953)
