Bernard of Clairvaux

God rewards those who seek Him. Not those who seek doctrine of religion or systems or creeds.

Rick Tumlinson

Success is a scary concept because it assumes something kind of final. In the grand scheme of life, I don't think there is some ultimate success.

Sophia Amoruso

Everything comes by being! Be the love you seek. Be the friend you seek. Be the lover you seek. Be the honesty you seek. Be the integrity you seek. Be the patience you seek. Be the tolerance you seek. Be the compassion you seek.

Bryant H. McGill

A trout is a moment of beauty known only to those who seek it.

Arnold Gingrich

Seek advice from those who are competent through their own experience and success to give it.

George S. Clason

Those who feel threatened by you or your success will seek to tear you down.

Tomi Lahren

You, the sons of the pioneers, if you are true to your ancestry, must make your lives as worthy as they made theirs. They sought for true success, and therefore they did not seek ease. They knew that success comes only to those who lead the life of endeavor
