Inspirational Quotes about Success

These are the Top 10 quotes about success that inspire and motivate me the most. Success has different meanings to different people and it certainly isn't all about how much money you have in the bank, as nice as that may be.

I think in the end it's the difference we make to the lives of others that really counts. And to make a difference to others we have to start with ourselves. Getting the balance right between business, career, health and relationships can be a struggle.

What I will say is writing down your own definition of success and your goals on paper can really make all the difference. Take the time to do this. It will honestly, be the best investment of your time you ever made. Enjoy this collection of quotes about success.

to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded."

nor the one never who never fails…
but rather the one who moves on in spite of failure.

than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory or defeat."
