The fire that warms us can also consume us; it is not the fault of the fire.

Man knows so much and does so little.

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

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

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.

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

The errors of great men are venerable because they are more fruitful than the truths of little men.

The wise say that our failure is to form habits: for habit is the mark of a stereotyped world.

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

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

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

The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now

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

Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.

Failure is an event not a person

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

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

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

As soon as the fear approaches near, attack and destroy it.

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