Need some inspiration?

A lot of people need inspiration every day, especially when they are working hard and trying to achieve some dream or goal.

However, even those who do not have some big dream or goal need inspiration, and one way in which you can get inspiration is by reading inspirational quotes by famous people, and some by not-so-famous people.

If you are looking for quotes about success to help you along, then you've landed in just the right place!

So let's start with the first of many inspirational quotes. Christoper Morley said, "There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning."
type=text"The great successful men of the world have used their imagination. They think ahead and create their mental picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building - steadily building." - Robert Collier

"The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will." - Vincent T. Lombardi

"The difference between failure and success is doing a thing nearly right and doing a thing exactly right." - Edward Simmons

"Desire is the key to motivation, but it's the determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek." - Mario Andretti

"Success is not permanent. The same is also true of failure." - Dell Crossword

“Success is a journey, not a destination. - Ben Sweetland”

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

"Health, happiness and success depend upon the fighting spirit of each person. The big thing is not what happens to us in life - but what we do about what happens to us." - George Allen

"As you climb the ladder of success, check occasionally to make sure it is leaning against the right wall." - Anonymous

"Everybody's a self-made man; but only the successful ones are ever willing to admit it." - Anonymous

"You have achieved success if you have lived well, laughed often and loved much." - Anonymous

"I was made to work. If you are equally industrious, you will be equally successful." - Johann Sebastian Bach

Act as though it is impossible to fail

type=text"The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure." - Sven Goran Eriksson

"Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time." - Arnold H. Glasgow

"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is the way great spiritual giants are produced." - Swami Vivekananda

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful." - Herman Cain

"You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else." - Albert Einstein

    Great job: Some great quotes here. I guess my favorite would be the one about success being a journey, and from scripture where Paul said "I press on toward the mark." I will lensroll it to and feature it on Inspiring Life Quotes.
