Not failure, but low aim, is crime.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down.
In great attempts, it is glorious even to fail.
Success is often achieved by those who don't know that failure is inevitable.
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
Failure is delay, but not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead-end street.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone.
Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure.
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
If you want to succeed, double your failure rate.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker
Success is due to our stretching to the challenges of life. Failure comes when we shrink from them.
Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing.
The greatest failure in life is to stop trying.
