Many people dream of success. To me success can only be achieved through repeated failure and introspection. In fact, success represents the one percent of your work which results only from 99 percent that is called failure.

A man, to carry on a successful business, must have imagination. He must see things as in a vision, a dream of the whole thing. A man can cultivate this faculty only by an appreciation for the finer things in life.

Now, I say to you today my friends, event though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.

When someone makes a decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had never dreamed of when he first made the decision.

Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living.

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers, Life is but an empty dream!

It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

What though strength fails? Boldness is certain to win praise. In mighty enterprises, it is enough to have had the determination.

The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.

A series of failures may culminate in the best possible result.

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

Far better it is to dare might things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they in the gray twilight that knows nor victory nor defeat.

Where words fail, music speaks.

Limitations are merely opportunities to grow. I use them as stepping stones to success.

If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths, rather than travel the worn paths of accepted success.

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning.

The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it's the same problem you had last year.

There is no failure except in no longer trying.
