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

Paramahansa Yogananda

Success in life could be defined as the continued expansion of happiness and the progressive realization of worthy goals. It's the ability to effortlessly fulfill your deepest desires. The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success are universal principles you can use to manifest your greatest dreams, with grace and ease.

Deepak Chopra

Success is not measured by what you do compared to what others do, it is measured by what you do with the ability God gave you.

Nicky Gumbel

Success is the ability to meet worthy goals, but it's also the ability to love and have compassion and the ability to get in touch with your creative center, to transform yourself toward more peaceful and just pursuits. I hope we redefine success. Otherwise, we'll see more of what we're already seeing - more aggression, more burnout, more Wall Street scandals, more war, more terrorism, more eco-destruction.

Deepak Chopra

The success and ultimately the survival of every business, large or small, depends in the last analysis on its ability to develop people. This ability is not measured by any of our conventional yardsticks of economic success; yet, is the final measurement.

Peter Drucker

...the laws of physics, carefully constructed after thousands of years of experimentation, are nothing but the laws of harmony one can write down for strings and membranes. The laws of chemistry are the melodies that one can play on these strings. the universe is a symphony of strings. And the "Mind of God," which Einstein wrote eloquently about, is cosmic music resonating throughout hyperspace.

Michio Kaku

In meditation take care not to impose anything on the mind, or to tax it. When you meditate there should be no effort to control, and no attempt to be peaceful. Don't be overly solemn or feel that you are taking part in some special ritual; let go even of the idea that you are meditating. Let your body remain as it is, your breath as you find it, and remain in your natural condition of unchanging pure awareness.

Sogyal Rinpoche

In order to reach home, where you have the guidance of cosmic insight, you must first depart from your present location. You cannot remain in the noisy city of your own vanities and expect to know what to do. Cosmic knowledge and personal vanity do not mingle.

Vernon Howard

Money has, as we know, no value in itself. It is a convenient yardstick for a large number of material values. But the health and life of an individual as well as the health of a nation cannot be measured by that yardstick. If we, entrusted with protecting and defending the health of the population, give in to a salesman's scale of values we are lost.

Karl Evang

When the mind is attuned to the cosmic law, all the laws of nature are in perfect harmony with the aspirations of the mind.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

Your success is not measured in terms of what all you obtained but in term of what you become, how you live and what actions you do. Upon this point reflect well and attain great happiness

Swami Vivekananda
