Man knows so much and does so little.

Failure is an event not a person

The worst prison would be a closed heart.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Failure cannot cope with persistence.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dwelling on negative thoughts is like fertilizing weeds.

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

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

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

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