I think that everything you do helps you to write if you're a writer. Adversity and success both contribute largely to making you what you are. If you don't experience either one of those you're being deprived of something.

You may lose your wife you may lose your dog your mother may hate you. None of those things matter. What matters is that you achieve success and become free. Then you can do whatever you like.

I think all of us certainly believed the statistics which said that probably 88% chance of mission success and maybe 96% chance of survival. And we were willing to take those odds.

Evolution acts slowly. Our psychological characteristics today are those that promoted reproductive success in the ancestral environmen.

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.

I'm not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones those that achieve success and those that don't.

All those who are around me are the bridge to my success so they are all important.

I think all those people I did stories about measured their own success by the joy their work was giving them.

The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion.

I believe in luck: how else can you explain the success of those you dislike?
