“Success is the sum of a lot of small things done correctly.”

“When a small night-lamp alone illuminated our love-making, it became a very small, circular room which silently passed through nights humming with stars.”

“A modern man registers a hundred times more sensory impressions than an eighteenth-century artist”

“...a woman not yet seen, but whose perfume accumulates on the horizon like a storm cloud.”

“Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.”

“Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.”

“I would hesitate to use the word 'success' in the way many people do. I don't know that I would apply it to what I've done as though I have now reached the ultimate goal. To me success is a continuing thing. It is growth and development. It is achieving one thing and using that as a stepping stone to achieve something else. Success comes as you have confidence in yourself. Self-confidence is built by succeeding, even if the success is small. It is the believing that makes it possible.”
