Success is like a ladder and no one has ever climbed a ladder with their hands in their pockets.

Zig Ziglar

I work very slowly. It's like building a ladder, where you're building your own ladder rung by rung, and you're climbing the ladder. It's not the best way to build a ladder, but I don't know any other way.

Joyce Carol Oates

The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.

Ayn Rand

Success is a ladder that cannot be climbed with your hands in your pocket - The road to success is always under construction

Lily Tomlin

My concentration span is truly that of a gnat. Some people have this ladder, and that's all there is - the ladder. I have the ladder, too, but there's a building around it with scaffolding, and lots of windows for me to peek into. Then suddenly I'll remember, 'Oh, there's the ladder. I should be concentrating on that.'

Natascha McElhone

The business of a general is to kick away the ladder behind soldiers when they have climbed up a height.

Sun Tzu

Every success is built on the ability to do better than good enough. As you climb the ladder of success, be sure it's leaning against the right building. Eighty percent of success is showing up.

Woody Allen

People may spend their whole lives climbing the ladder of success only to find, once they reach the top, that the ladder is leaning against the wrong wall.

Thomas Merton

She's the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong.

Mae West

In Caribbean there is no middle class: you're either rich or you're poor. And the ladder to success is not really a ladder, it's a chain; once you reach a certain level, you can't go back and you can only keep going forward.

Zoe Saldana

Be sure that, as you scramble up the ladder of success, it is leaning against the right building.

Stephen Covey

When you are in a growth company, you have to really open people's eyes to the bigger possibilities so they think differently. Once they understand how to define success and what their role is in success, they make better decisions, and you can push decision-making down.

Dan Rosensweig

Time has a funny way of collapsing when you go back to a place you once loved. You find yourself thinking, I was kissed in that building, I climbed up that tree.
