    Life   Men   Effort  
    Samuel Smiles (1861). “Self-help: With Illustrations of Character and Conduct”, p.348

    Jimmy Carter (2014). “The Jimmy Carter Library”, p.444, Simon and Schuster

  • We all strive for safety, prosperity, comfort, long life, and dullness. The deer strives with his supple legs, the cowman with trap and poison, the statesman with pen, the most of us with machines, votes, and dollars. A measure of success in this is all well enough, and perhaps is a requisite to objective thinking, but too much safety seems to yield only danger in the long run. Perhaps this is behind Thoreau's dictum: In wilderness is the salvation of the world. Perhaps this is the hidden meaning in the howl of the wolf, long known among mountains, but seldom perceived among men.

    Life   Running   Men  
    "A Sand County Almanac: And Sketches Here and There". Book by Aldo Leopold. Chapter "Arizona and New Mexico: Thinking Like a Mountain", p. 133, 1949.

    Lasts   Tradition   Poet  
    Amy Lowell (1931). “Tendencies in Modern American Poetry”, p.6, Ardent Media
  • A true measure of success is just to work hard and get my music out there and just be myself and be real.

  • If you believe in what you're doing, you'll be successful.

  • Obviously, psychologically, it would make all the difference in the world. But I think it would also make a big difference financially. If people understood, that, "Y'know, having all those things, that I was told I was supposed to have, to be successful, really is not a measure of success, and I can't have them anyway -" Yeah, that would make a big difference. It would've made a big difference, I think, in my life.

    Life   Success   Goal

    Numbers   Long   Growth  
    Mark Dever (2012). “The Church: The Gospel Made Visible”, p.12, B&H Publishing Group
  • There are some things that could hold it together, notably oil revenues. But at the moment, the much vaunted surge has had a measure of success primarily, to my mind, because Sunni and Shia Iraqis hate and fear each other more these days than they hate and fear the Americans.
