Hope Men Long

More From Orison Swett Marden

No man is beaten until his hope is annihilated, his confidence gone, as long as a man faces life hopefully, confidently, triumphantly, he is not a failure; he is not beaten until he turns his back on life.

My great definition of success comes from thoreau: "if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." that always has defined my road to what you call phenomenal success. i have advanced confidently in the direction of my dreams. i have lived the life i imagined, and i have had a ball doing it.

Just as a human soul that faces great difficulties also faces great opportunities for spiritual growth, so a human society that faces destruction also faces the opportunity to enter a period of renaissance. i think that, barring an accident, the wish to survive will keep us from a nuclear war.

Failure's relative. i've always felt, even early on, if i lose the freedom to fail, something's not right about that. it's how you treat failure, too. there's something to learn from it. i've had movies that have failed colossally, so you kind of analyze your failures: what kind of failure was it? a failure because it's misunderstood by others? a failure because you misunderstood it yourself?
Misunderstood Kind Failing
If you try to make interesting films, you're going to be disappointed most of the time. i choose just not to look at it that way. i don't look at american history x as a failure, or fight club as a failure, or 25th hour as a failure, or larry flynt as a failure, or any of the movies that i care about that i've made that were not immediately successful. i'll stand with those movies any day over 90 percent of the movies that came out at the same time that made a hundred million dollars

I cannot stress enough that the answer to life's questions is often in people's faces. try putting your iphones down once in a while, and look in people's faces. people's faces will tell you amazing things. like if they are angry, or nauseous or asleep.

Similar Quotes
For thirty years now, in times of stress and strain, when something has me backed against the wall and i'm ready to do something really stupid with my anger, a sorrowful face appears in my mind and asks... "problem or inconvenience?" i think of this as the wollman test of reality. life is lumpy. and a lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat, and a lump in the breast are not the same lump. one should learn the difference.
Wall Stress Stupid
Laughter dulls the sharpest pain and flattens out the greatest stress. to share it is to give a gift of health.

Debt creates stress, stress creates behaviors that don't lead to happiness.

When i'm really stressed out, i go to church. i light candles and sit and pray. and i'll ask myself, what's the lesson? why am i going through this? there's got to be a reason i'm here. what am i supposed to learn?
