Bill Cosby
American - Comedian
Born: July 12, 1937

You can't make everyone happy no matter what. All I can do is live my life and try to be successful and please myself. I have my own morals I live by. Bill Cosby once said, 'I don't know the key to success but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.' I agree with that. I live my life my way. I try to do the right thing, but I know there are going to be people who aren't happy with what I do or say no matter what, so I'm not going to worry about it.

B.J. Penn

Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it. I don't know all the keys to success, but one key to failure is to try to please everyone.

Rick Warren

Herman Cain

The key to success is failure… Success is made of 99 percent failure.

Every soul confined in a prison of sin, guilt, or perversion has a key to the gate. The key is labeled “repentance.” If you know how to use this key, the adversary cannot hold you.

Boyd K. Packer

Keeping it real is the key and I don't know how they've done that week after week. I think the key is that everybody can sort of empathize with [The Office].
