Getting to the point where a cause goes from being a terribly daunting task with a handful of adherents to an acknowledged success with momentum and many allies is a rarity.
— Thomas Kaplan
You can be discouraged by failure, or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes, make all you can. Because, remember that's where you'll find success - on the far side of failure.
— Thomas J. Watson
Women's boxing has received a major boost from the success of 'Million Dollar Baby.'
— Thomas Hauser
Failures to heroic minds are the stepping stones to success.
— Thomas Chandler Haliburton
One might think that the money value of an invention constitutes its reward to the man who loves his work. But... I continue to find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.
— Thomas A. Edison
For unflagging interest and enjoyment, a household of children, if things go reasonably well, certainly all other forms of success and achievement lose their importance by comparison.
— Theodore Roosevelt

— Theo Epstein
I think that is where my success lies - for whatever I lack in talent, I make up for in hard work.
— The Miz
Women right now kind of have this idea of success - putting your career first and then having kids. On one side, it's perfect and it's a great plan, but on the other side, they don't explain to you that after age 35, you start losing eggs.
— Thalia
There are moments when television systems are young and haven't formed properly, and there's room for lots of original stuff. Then things become more and more top-heavy with executives who are trying to guarantee the success of things.
— Terry Gilliam
Success and failure are equally disastrous.
— Tennessee Williams
Our biggest achievement was health-sector reform. The success was in making sure that primary health care was the center of gravity in our health system.
— Tedros Adhanom
The longer people watch Netflix and the longer they stay members - they're the criteria of success for us.
— Ted Sarandos
I think it's the actor's job - when you think of being typecast or getting out of the shadow of whatever you've had success in - it's up to you as an actor. The industry will always want to hire you for what you were successful in last and what made money. But you can say no to that and look for other parts.
— Ted Danson
I had a one-year-old son. How will my failure or success limit what he becomes? I was trying to write screenplays. It doesn't pay very well until you sell one. I was poor.
— Taylor Sheridan
Put paying your dues and all that puts so much into being a success. You have an understanding of what it's about, being on your own for three or four years and living day to day on $3, or living in an apartment with no electricity.
— Taylor Kitsch
I think that when people who've had success from a young age go through a train-wreck cycle, it's usually because they're working on someone else's terms, so they feel the need to rebel. But when it's something you've built, you don't have that same kind of resentment or angstiness. But it's also difficult to keep those standards for yourself.
— Tavi Gevinson
To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business and your business in your heart.
Whenever an individual or a business decides that success has been attained, progress stops.
Like the British Constitution, she owes her success in practice to her inconsistencies in principle.
— Thomas Hardy
I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.
Scouting and player development is the key to year-in and year-out success, not the occasional lucky hit. There are no definitive answers in this game, no shortcuts. When you think you've got it all figured out, you can get humbled very quickly.
My success, I think it is due to the Mizanan family. Everyone in my family is a hard worker.
My father was always slightly bemused by my success. Although he knew that I had reasonable intelligence, he always thought that I was a little bit lazy.
— Terry Wogan
The one thing that scares me the most is failing. It scares me that one day I won't be at this level. But while I'm here and while I'm having success early, I'm trying to do everything to stay on this level.
— Terrell Davis
I have always been pushed by the negative. The apparent failure of a play sends me back to my typewriter that very night, before the reviews are out. I am more compelled to get back to work than if I had a success.
We expect 'Narcos' will be an enormous success throughout everywhere in the world and maybe out-index in Latin America, given the Brazilian star and Brazilian director and heavy Latin American cast and that we shot the show entirely on location in Colombia.
We never could have foreseen the success of 'Babel.' It's not like banjo records were soaring up the charts, you know.
— Ted Dwane
I think the first thing you should know is that nobody in country music 'made it' the same way. It's all different. There's no blueprint for success, and sometimes you just have to work at it.
— Taylor Swift
I do think, in any industry, when you put too much pressure on the source of your happiness coming from your work, you're going to run into a wall. It's easy to think that once you have success, then happiness will just hit like a wave over you. I don't think that's the case, or at least, when I achieved my first dream, that wasn't the case.
— Taylor Louderman
My literary success meant nothing to me.
— Taylor Caldwell
Taylor's first four albums have been certified platinum a combined 21 times, but despite her unprecedented success in country music, '1989' is strictly pop.
If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.
Before you can become a millionaire, you must learn to think like one. You must learn how to motivate yourself to counter fear with courage. Making critical decisions about your career, business, investments and other resources conjures up fear, fear that is part of the process of becoming a financial success.
— Thomas J. Stanley
The road to success is filled with women pushing their husbands along.
— Thomas Dewar
Anything that won't sell, I don't want to invent. Its sale is proof of utility, and utility is success.
There are as many routes to writing success as there are writers who got there. My advice, however, applies across the board: read widely, learn the craft by whatever means you can - workshops and writing programs are ideal, but even self-study can work - apply what you learn, and persevere.
— Therese Fowler
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young.
If you want to continue to be good and perform at a high level and be deep in all areas, you still have to hit on some undervalued players, too. You can't just go out and sign marquee free agents or trade for players when they're at the peak of their value. That's not a formula for long-term success.
Starting a band is the easy part. Once you've formed the band, you have to tell a story, and that story requires songs. And not just good songs, but great songs. After a while, great songs won't do - they have to be the best. Success doesn't make it any easier. Each time I start a new record, it's a brand-new search.
— The Edge
'The Stepfather' was the first time I sort of carried a film, or led in a film, and doing it was fun, and I felt very special. Afterwards, though, I was terrified. I just thought, 'Wow, this is basically going to be about me. If this film is a success or a failure, a lot of it's on me!'
— Terry O'Quinn
Luxury is the wolf at the door and its fangs are the vanities and conceits germinated by success. When an artist learns this, he knows where the danger is.
Success is blocked by concentrating on it and planning for it... Success is shy - it won't come out while you're watching.
'Orange Is the New Black' and 'Sense8' have enjoyed great success all over the world.
You look at the instrumentation, and you can't really argue that we set out with commercial aspirations. Banjos and things like that are not part of some formula for global success. But it felt right, and I think there's some value to purity of intention.
Do things you love; then success, possibly, will follow.
— Taylor Steele
Honesty and loyalty are key. If two people can be honest with each other about everything, that's probably the biggest key to success.
— Taylor Lautner
A lot of people glorify and romanticize the idea of being an early bloomer: finding success very early and being a child star. But it can also be quite dangerous.
