A Quote by George S. Patton

Bottom Climbs High Hits How Man Measure Success

George S. Patton
American - Military man
November 11, 1885 - December 21, 1945

The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: how quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give.

Philip K. Dick

The test of success is not what you do when you are on top. Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

George S. Patton

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom.

George S. Patton

When it comes to business, diets, working out, writing, or any other dream, success isn't about how high you fly. Success is about how high you bounce.

Rachel Hollis

I haven't given it (achieving 3,000 hits) much thought. I was taught a certain approach, how to come to the ballpark. I try not to do too much thinking about things like that. In this society we measure success in different ways. Three thousand (hits) represents success over a career, not a season. It'll be nice to get to that point.

Cal Ripken, Jr.

College coaches measure success in championships. High School coaches measure success to titles. Youth coaches measure success in smiles.

Paul McAllister

Pretty much everyone hates high school. It's a measure of your humanity, I suspect. If you enjoyed high school, you were probably a psychopath or a cheerleader. Or possibly both. Those things aren't mutually exclusive, you know. I've tried to block out the memory of my high school years, but no matter how hard you try, it's always with you, like an unwanted hitchhiker. Or herpes. I assume.

Jenny Lawson

To every man there openeth a way, and ways, and a way. And the high soul climbs the high way, and the low soul gropes the low. And in between, on the misty flats, the rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth a high way and a low, and every man decideth the way his soul shall go.

William Arthur Dunkerley

A politician who climbs high over the bodies of the slain is described as vile or great according to the degree of his success.

Robert Musil

Follow in the footsteps of your fathers' virtue! How could you hope to climb high unless your fathers' will climbs with you?

Friedrich Nietzsche

We don't measure our people's success in how they're doing in government. We measure how they are doing in the real world and the private sector economy.

Bobby Jindal

Ambition devours gold and drinks blood and climbs so high by other men's heads, that at the length in the fall, it breaks its own neck; therefore, it is better to live in humble content than in high care and trouble.

Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford

I measure my success by how happy I am, not how big the business is or how much money I've made.

Gary Vaynerchuk

I think your expectations as a player are always high. No matter how high the expectations are from the outside, from media, from fans, wherever, you hold yourself to a high standard and understand what you are capable of.

Christian Yelich

Life ain't about how fast you run or how high you climb, It's all about how good you bounce. A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.

Mark Twain

There needs to be bolder thinking, ... on how to measure the quality of life of men and women in the work force. Currently, success is measured by material advancements. We need to readjust the definition of success to account for time outside of work and satisfaction of life, not just the dollars-and-cents bottom line.

Betty Friedan
