Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself.

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don't fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.

Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.

Failure is an event not a person

Failure is the foundation of success, and the means by which it is achieved.
