I raised five children. They all have different personalities. All of them have different issues, different levels of success. That was a learning experience for me. T. D. Jakes on success
Look, if you ask a child, 'Would you rather have a fulfilled mother or a stay-at-home Sylvia Plath,' they'll pick Sylvia Plath every time. But I think it's really important that children don't feel their parents' emotional lives depend on their success. Ayelet Waldman on success
My literary success meant nothing to me. Taylor Caldwell on success
I don't think success has changed us as people at all. We are the same lunatics that we were when this band first got going. We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans. Kirk Hammett on success

Marian Wright Edelman on success
