To strive tirelessly and at all times to reach one's goal - therein lies the secret of success.

To follow without halt, one aim; there is the secret of success. And success? What is it? I do not find it in the applause of the theater; it lies rather in the satisfaction of accomplishment.

To strive tirelessly and at all times to reach one's goal - therein lies the secret of success.

It is useless to dabble in beauty. One must be utterly devoted to beauty, with every nerve of the body.

Success depends in a very large measure upon individual initiative and exertion, and cannot be achieved except by a dint of hard work.
