If science is to progress, what we need is the ability to experiment, honesty in reporting results—the results must be reported without somebody saying what they would like the results to have been—and finally—an important thing—the intelligence to interpret the results.

Richard P. Feynman

The final moment of success is often no more thrilling than taking off a heavy backpack at the end of a long hike. If you went on the hike only to feel that pleasure, you are a fool. Yet people sometimes do just this. They work hard at a task and expect some special euphoria at the end. But when they achieve success and find only moderate and short-lived pleasure, they ask is that all there is? They devalue their accomplishments as a striving after wind. We can call this the progress principle: Pleasure comes more from making progress toward goals than from achieving them.

Jonathan Haidt

Yoga is an ancient discipline in which physical postures, breath practice, meditation, and philosophical study are tools for achieving liberation. In my interpretation, achieving liberation in yoga means learning how to be present with everything that arises, whether it is pain or pleasure, sadness or joy, failure or success. And to be present with whatever arises, I believe we must not only be aware of what is arising but we must also be able to see all things that arise as equal, with detachment.

Rodney Yee

Success isn't measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace.

Mike Ditka

Success is not rightly measured by wealth, prestige and power. Success is measured by the yardstick of happiness.

Paramahansa Yogananda

One of the greatest mistakes of successful people is the assumption, 'I behave this way, and I achieve results. Therefore, I must be achieving results because I behave this way.' This belief is sometimes true, but not across the board.

Marshall Goldsmith

If we measured success by longevity, then dinosaurs must rank as the number one success story in the history of land life.

Robert T. Bakker

People know that pursuing a mission without achieving results is dispiriting; achieving results without a mission is meaningless.

Frances Hesselbein

There is no continuum for success. Focus on the progress, not the results.

Nick Saban

The American idea of racial progress is measured by how fast I become white.

James Baldwin

The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable as you parade through each day convinced that every task, no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to achieving your dreams.

Og Mandino

Progressivism was a sister movement of fascism, and today's liberalism is the daughter of Progressivism.

Jonah Goldberg

Progress in manufacturing is measured by the production of high quality goods. The unit of progress for Lean Startups is validated learning-a rigorous method for demonstrating progress when one is embedded in the soil of extreme uncertainty.

Eric Ries

A culture that values only what has succeeded before, where the first rule of success is that there must be something 'measured' and counted, is not a culture that will sustain alternatives to market-driven 'creativity.

Sue Halpern

Success is not measured by what you do compared to what somebody else does. Success is measured by what you do compared to what you are capable of doing.

Zig Ziglar

I am more fond of achieving than striving. My theories must prove to be facts or be discarded as worthless. My efforts must soon be crowned with success, or discontinued.
