“Success is not to be measured so much by the status one has attained in life but rather by the obstacles one has overcome while trying to succeed.”

“Success is not measured by the position one has reached in life, rather by the obstacles one overcomes while trying to succeed”

“I have learned that 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.”

“You measure the size of the accomplishment by the obstacles you have to overcome to reach your goals.”

“I have begun everything with the idea that I could succeed, and I never had much patience with the multitudes of people who are always ready to explain why one cannot succeed.”

“It means a great deal, I think, to start off on a foundation which one has made for oneself.”

“The thing to do when one feels sure that he has said or done the right thing and is condemned, is to stand still and keep quiet. If he is right, time will show it.”
