"However things may seem, no evil thing is success and no good thing is failure." ― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Topic(s): Success More From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow "The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service." "The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after." "People demand freedom only when they have no power." More In Success "We must believe in luck. For how else can we explain the success of those we don’t like?"― Jean Cocteau "You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it."― Oprah Winfrey "I attribute my success to this – I never gave or took any excuse."― Florence Nightingale
