Try to become not a man of success, but try rather to become a man of value.

Patience is a key element of success.

The secret of success is focus of purpose.

I dread success. To have succeeded is to have finished one's business on earth, like the male spider who is killed by the female the moment he has succeeded in his courtship. I like the state of continual becoming, with a goal in front and not behind.

As a kid from Compton, you can get all the success in the world and still question your worth.

I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.
