Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.
Albert Einstein
The man who makes a success of an important venture never wails for the crowd. He strikes out for himself. It takes nerve, it takes a great lot of grit; but the man that succeeds has both. Anyone can fail. The public admires the man who has enough confidence in himself to take a chance. These chances are the main things after all. The man who tries to succeed must expect to be criticized. Nothing important was ever done but the greater number consulted previously doubted the possibility. Success is the accomplishment of that which most people think can't be done.
C. V. White
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no use being a damn fool about it.
W.C. Fields
Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.
