One of the most difficult things for people who have been successful in sports is adapting to the daily world where you can't get an answer from someone until 5 o'clock tomorrow. There is always an excuse. Living 40 or 50 years like that doesn't get too exciting after a while.

For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.

It's not just the NFL. Every other league has a draft. It has been fundamental to the success of professional sports.

Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.

I think that when we have a better educated society when there is less violence in our cities when people get back into the workforce and have the opportunity to take care of themselves and their families - that for me really is the kind of success and the kind of America that I think most of us still want we aspire to.

The only yardstick for success our society has is being a champion. No one remembers anything else.

I mean Britain is a country of successful Muslim businesspeople teachers and educators journalists. So we have to say very strongly that the two million plus Muslims in Britain the vast bulk of them make a huge contribution to our society and they actually make it the vibrant society it is.

A lot of guys and people in our society think that chicks just love dudes with money. Chicks love dudes who are successful who happen to have money - do you know what I mean? Chicks are attracted to dudes that are doing their own thing.

If you look at any Muslim society and you make a scale of how developed they are and how successful the economy is it's a straight line. It depends on how much they emancipate their women.

The concept of the 'good ol' days' must be one of our society's biggest delusions top reasons for depression as well as most often used excuse for lack of success.

We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solutions.

A successful society is characterized by a rising living standard for its population increasing investment in factories and basic infrastructure and the generation of additional surplus which is invested in generating new discoveries in science and technology.

Science has not been successful by making up explanations of things that fit with the current social fabric.

The ever quickening advances of science made possible by the success of the Human Genome Project will also soon let us see the essences of mental disease. Only after we understand them at the genetic level can we rationally seek out appropriate therapies for such illnesses as schizophrenia and bipolar disease.

Science means simply the aggregate of all the recipes that are always successful. All the rest is literature.

Success is a science if you have the conditions you get the result.

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success.

They're not willing to admit that I've also shed blood and tears and often paid dearly for my success. This makes me feel extremely sad.

If I can procure three hundred good substantial names of persons or bodies or institutions I cannot fail to do well for my family although I must abandon my life to its success and undergo many sad perplexities and perhaps never see again my own beloved America.

NASA has been one of the most successful public investments in motivating students to do well and achieve all they can achieve. It's sad that we are turning the programme in a direction where it will reduce the amount of motivation and stimulation it provides to young people.

We never taste a perfect joy our happiest successes are mixed with sadness.

If I were sufficiently romantic I suppose I'd have killed myself long ago just to make people talk about me. I haven't even got the conviction to make a successful drunkard.

The vampire was a complete change from the usual romantic characters I was playing but it was a success.

The most successful marriages gay or straight even if they begin in romantic love often become friendships. It's the ones that become the friendships that last.
