Each one of us has both; good and evil virtues. Those who decide to focus on the good ones succeed in life.

Men have their virtues and their vices, their heroisms and their perversities; men are neither wholly good nor wholly bad, but possess and practice all that there is of good and bad here below. Such is the general rule. Temperament, education, the accidents of life, are modifying factors. Outside of this, everything is ordered arrangement, everything is chance. Such has been my rule of expectation and it has usually brought me success.

A person who is trying to copy others will be a successful person for a while, but he won't be able to succeed further in life.

Everyone can rise above their circumstances and achieve success if they are dedicated to and passionate about what they do.

One of the problems when you become successful is that jealousy and envy inevitably follow. There are people-I categorize them as life's losers-who get their sense of accomplishment and achievement from trying to stop others. As far as I'm concerned, if they had any real ability they wouldn't be fighting me, they'd be doing something constructive themselves.

Few things make the life of a parent more rewarding and sweet as successful children.
