I do not see myself as a celebrity or an icon or things like that… I have not really done anything.
Greta ThunbergHe shines in the second rank, who is eclipsed in the first.
VoltaireNo man is ever whipped until he quits in his own mind.
Napoleon HillAim for the highest.
Andrew CarnegieNo one was ever great without some portion of divine inspiration.
Marcus Tullius CiceroI’m proud to play for Real Madrid because I have fun; when you no longer have fun it’s a sign that it’s time to leave. For now though, I’m happy here at the greatest club in the world.
Cristiano RonaldoTo refuse awards is another way of accepting them with more noise than is normal.
Mark TwainDoing well is the result of doing good. That’s what capitalism is all about.
Ralph Waldo EmersonHollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
Marilyn MonroeSuccess does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.
George Bernard ShawWe give speeches and pin ribbons onto uniforms, etch names into walls. And all that is fine, but too often, all those tributes, all those words aren’t always backed up by action. And that felt like such a stark contrast to me, because, as we all know, our military is all about action.
Michelle ObamaWhy should anybody be interested in some old man who was a failure?
Ernest HemingwayNo enterprise is more likely to succeed than one concealed from the enemy until it is ripe for execution.
Niccolo MachiavelliWinners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they’re making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that’s the difference.
Lou HoltzWith ideas it is like with dizzy heights you climb: At first they cause you discomfort and you are anxious to get down, distrustful of your own powers; but soon the remoteness of the turmoil of life and the inspiring influence of the altitude calm your blood; your step gets firm and sure and you begin to look – for dizzier heights.
Nikola TeslaNo man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like.
Napoleon HillGlory follows virtue as if it were its shadow.
Marcus Tullius CiceroSuccess is not a stop sign.
Robert KiyosakiAll great achievements require time.
Maya AngelouSuccess is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
Albert SchweitzerThe making of the far-famed New York Central Park was opposed by even good men, with misguided pluck, perseverance, and ingenuity, but straight right won its way, and now that park is appreciated. So we confidently believe it will be with our great national parks and forest reservations.
John MuirBefore anything else, preparation is the key to success.
Alexander Graham BellOf course, ‚I Will Always Love You‘ is the biggest song so far in my career. I’m famous for several, but that one has been recorded by more people and made me more money, I think, than all of them. But that song did come from a true and deep place in my heart.
Dolly PartonWithout continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.
Benjamin FranklinI’ve never wanted to use my age as a gimmick, as something that would get me ahead of other people. I’ve wanted the music to do that.
Taylor SwiftWhen we were children we were grateful to those who filled our stockings at Christmas time. Why are we not grateful to God for filling our stockings with legs?
Gilbert K. ChestertonHollywood has a way of making everything seem like an overnight success.
Kevin HartI’m the same kid who used to hop the trains with headphones and just go to downtown Manhattan, walk around and listen to music or walk through the city. The fame restricts that. It’s a small complaint in comparison to the benefits I get from it, but the restrictive part is what I don’t like – and the fact that it’s not reversible.
J. ColeSee, ‚A Time to Kill‘ was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.
Matthew McConaugheyMy superhero has always been Tendulkar, and it will be Tendulkar for life. He is someone who has inspired me immensely. Just watching him play for India, I used to dream of winning games for India, because he used to do it single handedly.
Virat KohliEven those who write against fame wish for the fame of having written well, and those who read their works desire the fame of having read them.

DrakeI want to thank you for taking time out of your day to come and witness my hanging.
George W. BushWhen I was younger, I felt pressure to become someone else once I became successful.
Lady GagaLady Gaga is my name. If you know me, and you call me Stefani, you don’t really know me at all.
Lady GagaManagement is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.
Stephen CoveyWe can succeed only by concert. It is not, ‚Can any of us imagine better,‘ but, ‚Can we all do better?‘
Abraham LincolnInnovation has nothing to do with how many R & D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R & D. It’s not about money. It’s about the people you have, how you’re led, and how much you get it.
Steve JobsI’ve never gone into business to make money. Every Virgin product and service has been made into a reality to make a positive difference in people’s lives. And by focusing on the happiness of our customers, we have been able to build a successful group of companies.
Richard BransonNever fret for an only son, the idea of failure will never occur to him.

Ronald ReaganI was the one who took football off the back pages and put it on to page one.
George BestGenerally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn’t women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?
Anne FrankThose who say it can’t be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.
James BaldwinThey talk about the failure of socialism but where is the success of capitalism in Africa, Asia and Latin America?
Fidel CastroI think when smallpox was eliminated, the whole world got pretty excited about that because it’s just such a dramatic success.
Bill GatesI just hate meetings. Though it’s true that once you’ve made a lot of money, people around you might be full of ideas about ways to make lots more money and might be disappointed that you don’t want to seize every opportunity to do so.
J. K. RowlingI care very deeply about the people at Tesla. I feel like I have a great debt to the people of Tesla who are making the company successful.
Elon MuskLike it or not, there are a lot of dance teachers in this country who respect me, whether they personally like me or not.
Abby Lee MillerDon’t work for recognition, but do work worthy of recognition.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.A man is not paid for having a head and hands, but for using them.
Elbert HubbardIf what you did yesterday seems big, you haven’t done anything today.
