“The person who makes a success of living is the one who sees his goal steadily and aims for it unswervingly. That is dedication. ”

“Don't aim at success---the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued;it must ensue...as the unintended side-effect of one's personal dedication to a course greater than oneself.”

“A man who could not see the end of his"provisional existence" was not able to aim at an ultimate goal in life.”

“Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side effect of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one's surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success: you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live to see that in the long-run—in the long-run, I say!—success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think about it”

“More important than success is the individual who strives towards his goal. It is the effort which counts. The goal is just a finish line - it accomplishes there and its happiness short lived.”

“Success isn't something you have, it's something you do. Don't be fooled into taking shortcuts, they always lead to a dead-end. Instead, establish a goal, make a plan, and take purposeful action. Those who experience success are those who live it; those who earn it.”
