“...success is not a comparison of what we have done with what others have done.”
“Success is not what you have done compared to what others have done. Success is what you have done compared to what you were supposed to do.”
“The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have done and what we might have been on the one hand, and the thing we have made and the things we have made of ourselves on the other.”
“What have we done to each other?”
“The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.”
“We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done.”
