We all know that Social Security is one of this country's greatest success stories in the 20th century.

When everything happens to you when you're so young you're very lucky but by the same token you're never going to have that same feeling again. The first time anything happens to you - your first love your first success - the second one is never the same.

Like everybody I have invested in things that have gone bad because there's never any guarantee of success or profit when it comes to money.

I have found no greater satisfaction than achieving success through honest dealing and strict adherence to the view that for you to gain those you deal with should gain as well.

With 'Believe' bringing really big success for me outside of the U.K. for the first time it meant I have been touring around the world and that led to a gap from the studio.

Excess is success.

Success is not in never failing but rising everytime you fall!

Success is the necessary misfortune of life but it is only to the very unfortunate that it comes early.
