Orison Swett Marden, founder of Success
Magazine, is also considered to be
the founder of the modern success movement in America.
Marden's first book, Pushing to the Front,
published in 1894, had a phenomenal circulation. In 1897
he founded Success Magazine, which
reached the enormous circulation, for that time, of
nearly a half-million, meaning of course that it was read
by from two to three million readers. This publication
ran into financial difficulties and suspended publication
in 1912. But once again, 1n 1918, he founded a new Success
which was rapidly climing in circulation when death ended
his career, in 1924.
His book titles express eloquently the outlook of
cheerful optimism and confidence. At his death it was
said of him that he averaged two books a year, from his
first in 1894 to his last just before his passing in
1924, and had some two million words in as yet
unpublished manuscripts when he died.
We
lift ourselves by our thought, we climb upon our vision
of ourselves. If you want to enlarge your life, you must
first enlarge your thought of it and of yourself. Hold
the ideal of yourself as you long to be, always,
everywhere - your ideal of what you long to attain - the
ideal of health, efficiency, success. Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924)
