If At First You Don't Succeed

 

If At First You Don't Succeed 

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”

― Winston S. Churchill

 

“He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;

Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;

Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;

Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it;

Who has left the world better than he found it,

Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;

Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;

Whose life was an inspiration;

Whose memory a benediction.”

― Bessie Anderson Stanley, More Heart Throbs Volume Two in Prose and Verse Dear to the American People And by them contributed as a Supplement to the original $10,000 Prize Book HEART THROBS

 

“I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time.”

― Herbert Bayard Swope

 

“If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.”

― W.C. Fields

 

“Try not to become a man of success. Rather become a man of value.”

“Success is not how high you have climbed, but how you make a positive difference to the world.”

“It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation.”

― Herman Melville

 

“Dare to Be

 

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

 

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

 

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

 

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

 

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

 

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

 

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

 

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

 

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

 

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

 

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

 

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

 

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

 

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

 

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

 

Dare to be the best you can –

 

At all times, Dare to be!”

― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

 

“So be sure when you step, Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's A Great Balancing Act. And will you succeed? Yes! You will, indeed! (98 and ¾ percent guaranteed) Kid, you'll move mountains.”

― Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!

“Success is getting what you want, happiness is wanting what you get”

― W.P. Kinsella

 

“Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves.”

― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being

To Nature by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Poem, Summary, & Analysis)

  To Nature by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Poem, Summary, & Analysis)   To Nature   It may indeed be fantasy when I Essay to draw from all created things Deep, heartfelt, inward joy that closely clings; And trace in leaves and flowers that round me lie Lessons of love and earnest piety. So let it be; and if the wide world rings In mock of this belief, it brings Nor fear, nor grief, nor vain perplexity. So will I build my altar in the fields, And the blue sky my fretted dome shall be, And the sweet fragrance that the wild flower yields Shall be the incense I will yield to Thee, Thee only God! and thou shalt not despise Even me, the priest of this poor sacrifice.   Summary The speaker begins by acknowledging that it might seem like a fantasy when he attempts to find deep, sincere, and inward joy in all created things.
