Failure

©    If you're doing your best, you won't have any time to worry about failure.


 © Failure is an event, never a person.


©    The only time you don't fail is the last time you try anything - and it works.


©    I have not failed.  I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.


©    I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.


©    There is no failure except in no longer trying.
 

©  Supposing you have tried and failed again and again.  You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call "failure" is not the falling down, but the staying down.

©    Try again.  Fail again.  Fail better.

©    Failure doesn't mean you are a failure... it just means you haven't succeeded yet.

© One fails forward toward success.

© One must be a god to be able to tell successes from failures without making a mistake.

© A man may fall many times, but he won't be a failure until he says that someone pushed him.
 © Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.

©    Just once it might be instructive to pretend you're accepting an award for failure, just to see who you would thank.

©    In a world flagrant with the failures of civilization, what is there particularly immortal about our own?

©    They say President Wilson has blundered.  Perhaps he has, but I notice he usually blunders forward.

©    There are defeats more triumphant than victories.

©    Failure sometimes enlarges the spirit.  You have to fall back upon humanity and God.

 ©    Notice the difference between what happens when a man says to himself, "I have failed three times," and what happens when he says, "I am a failure."

©    A failure is a man who has blundered, but is not able to cash in the experience.

©    No man is a failure who is enjoying life.

©    Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently. 

© Because a fellow has failed once or twice or a dozen times, you don't want to set him down as a failure till he's dead or loses his courage.

©    You can't have any successes unless you can accept failure.

©    There is no failure.  Only feedback.
© Failure changes for the better, success for the worse.

©    There is much to be said for failure.  It is more interesting than success.

©    You always pass failure on your way to success.

©    Nothing fails like success because we don't learn from it.  We learn only from failure.

©    Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.

© It is a mistake to suppose that people succeed through success; they often succeed through failures.

©    The men who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.
