"No man can be a failure if he thinks he’s a success; If he thinks he is a winner, then he is." ― Robert W. Service Topic(s): Success More From Robert W. Service "I have an intense dislike for artificial society. In France, one could lead a free life – to do what one wanted to do without interference or criticism from one’s neighbors." "The only society I like is rough and tough, and the tougher the better. There’s where you get down to bedrock and meet human people." "Write verse, not poetry. The public wants verse. If you have a talent for poetry, then don’t by any means mother it, but try your hand at verse." More In Success "Architecture has recorded the great ideas of the human race. Not only every religious symbol, but every human thought has its page in that vast book."― Victor Hugo "Ambition is the path to success, persistence is the vehicle you arrive in."― William Eardley IV "If a man has been his mother’s undisputed darling he retains throughout life the triumphant feeling, the confidence in success, which not seldom brings actual success along with it."― Sigmund Freud
