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

One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.

Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.

Discontent, blaming, complaining, self-pity cannot serve as a foundation for a good future, no matter how much effort you make.

Failure cannot cope with persistence.

A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

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

You will soon break the bow if you keep it always stretched.

You have committed a double mistake, firstly by not keeping the engagement yesterday and secondly, by coming when you were not expected.

Great services are not canceled by one act or by one single error.

Failure is simply an opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Do not be afraid of mistakes, providing you do not make the same one twice.

Failure is an event not a person

The worst prison would be a closed heart.

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.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

At fifteen life had taught me undeniably that surrender, in its place, was as honorable as resistance, especially if one had no choice.

If something's important enough, you should try. Even if you - the probable outcome is failure.

To stumble twice against the same stone is a proverbial disgrace.
