On Success

"God gives every bird a worm, but he does not throw it into the nest." - Swedish Proverb


"Truth, self control, asceticism, generosity, non-injury, constancy in virtue - these are the means of success, not caste or family." - Mahabharata


"Unless you're willing to have a go, fail miserably, and have another go, success won't happen." - Phillip Adams


"Seventy percent of success in life is showing up." - Woody Allen


"Act as though it is impossible to fail." - Anonymous
