Experience has taught me that there is one chief reason why some people succeed and others fail. The difference is not one of knowing, but of doing.

The great difference between those who succeed and those who fail does not consist in the amount of work done by each but in the amount of intelligent work. Many of those who fail most ignominiously do enough to achieve grand success but they labor haphazardly at whatever they are assigned, building up with one hand to tear down with the other. They do not grasp circumstances and change them into opportunities. They have no faculty for turning honest defeats into telling victories. With ability enough and ample time, the major ingredients of success, they are forever throwing back and forth an empty shuttle and the real web of their life is never woven. — Og Mandino
People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to. — George E. Allen

People who wish to go into the future should have two skills to succeed - the ability to deal with people and the ability to sell. — Shiv Khera
The value of market esoterica to the consumer of investment advice is a different story. In my opinion, investment success will not be produced by arcane formulae, computer programs or signals flashed by the price behavior of stocks and markets. Rather an investor will succeed by coupling good business judgment with an ability to insulate his thoughts and behavior from the super-contagious emotions that swirl about the marketplace. — Warren Buffett
Expecting the best means that you put your whole heart (i.e. the central essence of your personality) into what you want to accomplish. People are defeated in life not because of lack of ability, but for lack of wholeheartedness. They do not wholeheartedly expect to succeed. Their heart isn't in it, which is to say, they themselves are not fully given. — Norman Vincent Peale
The ability to make a decision is another characteristic of a winner in money matters. I have found over and over again that those who succeed in making large sums of money reach decisions very promptly and change them, if at all, very slowly. I have also found that people who fail to make money reach decisions very slowly, if at all, and change them frequently and quickly. — Venita VanCaspel
There is no philosophy that will help us to succeed if we doubt our ability to do so. — Joan Bennett Kennedy
There is something that is much more scarce, something finer far, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability.

It is worth it to me to know I have succeeded based on my abilities and not on my looks or any 'connections.' I've tried not to embody destructive female images in my work. — Ally Sheedy
The character of greatness must be measured in two ways, else the measurement is flawed. First, and by far most popular of all, is by one's ability to succeed in times of trial where others may fail. But of no less importance, and perhaps foundational to any form of greatness, is one's willingness to start over in spite of failure, when success seems farthest away. — Guy Finley
Those who believe in our ability do more than stimulate us. They create for us an atmosphere in which it becomes easier to succeed. — John Lancaster Spalding
A man is not merely a man but a man among men, in a world of men. Being good at being a man has more to do with a man’s ability to succeed with men and within groups of men than it does with a man’s relationship to any woman or any group of women. When someone tells a man to be a man, they are telling him to be more like other men, more like the majority of men, and ideally more like the men who other men hold in high regard. — Jack Donovan
