Sixty percent of our immigrants are admitted merely because they have relatives here. Many of these people are not immediate relative, but are part of extended families. The nepotistic U.S. policy lets in relatives then lets in the relatives' relatives, and so on, creating an endless and ever growing chain of new immigrants.

Ronald Reagan

I think success is a relative term. If you're a caveman, success is capturing an elephant. Success is achieving better than the norm. Success is being exceptional. It's exceptional reputation, exceptional income, and exceptional respect.

Jon Taffer

Of course, success is a relative term. It can be something completely different from winning the German championship eight times or making millions.

Oliver Kahn

Personally, I don't like the term 'success.' It's too arbitrary and too relative a thing. It's usually someone else's definition, not yours.

Ichiro Suzuki

Everything is relative except relatives, and they are absolute.

Alfred Stieglitz

There is great effort to balance the short term with the long term. How are we trying to achieve sustained success? That includes success now.

Mike Budenholzer

If there's anythin' on earth that can be more tryin' than any kind of relative, I don't know what it is, but relatives by marriage comes first - easy.

Myrtle Reed

People who have the drive to achieve spend most of their time on what brings them the most tangible, immediate sense of success. Investments in our family only pay off in the very long term.

Clayton M. Christensen

Frequent comparative ranking can only reinforce a short-term investment perspective. It is understandably difficult to maintain a long-term view when, faced with the penalties for poor short-term performance, the long-term view may well be from the unemployment line ... Relative-performance-oriented investors really act as speculators. Rather than making sensible judgments about the attractiveness of specific stocks and bonds, they try to guess what others are going to do and then do it first.

Seth Klarman

Fear brings failure; faith brings success. It's just that simple.

Ernest Holmes

Being captive to quarterly earnings isn't consistent with long-term value creation. This pressure and the short term focus of equity markets make it difficult for a public company to invest for long-term success, and tend to force company leaders to sacrifice long-term results to protect current earnings.

Charles Koch

Many business leaders are seeing the relationship between long term success and sustainability, and that's very heartening.

Jacqueline Novogratz

Focus on long term success but be willing to make short term adjustments to get there

Simon Sinek

Our struggles are the short term lessons we learn to achieve long term success.

Simon Sinek

But everything is relative, Bertie... You, for instance, are my relative, and I am your relative.

P. G. Wodehouse

Well, I am a great believer in supercompensation. Short term overtraining leads to long-term success. I can hear the complaints about injuries, but, in truth, not too many of us suffer injuries that lead to surgery, according to those studies in the 1950?s. In fact, if you are not a druggie and have some common sense, I think you can afford to train harder than you think.
